You first...

I'm sorry if my responses seem a bit unfriendly but it gets old reading you dinosaurs rhetorically fart fern stucco at each other. And oh yeah, it's still rhetoric even if you agree with the sentiment. And I notice Brosz didn't get one of these friendly admonitions.

This long ago stopped being about science, and became a war of political dogma. Where I have trouble here is convincing anyone that scientists as political and self-serving as politicians. You'd think the recent stem-cell flap would have shown that. It's less a matter of lying than it is filtering data for a result you really want to be true. Oddly, nobody has any trouble believing scientists will tilt data to benefit a corporation, but won't do it to benefit their own careers.

Very statesman.
