    Science clearly needs a stronger lobby.

    Yeah, but that’s so elitist to rely on things like facts, science and evidence.

    This is 'merica, son.

    There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

    Isaac Asimov.

    ^ This is how we do things now, since a few million morons voted for the likes of Taco at least in part because “he’s not a politician”. These morons deserve to have their teeth drilled by “not a dentist”, by the way…

    Asimov says it eloquently, JR “Bob” Dobbs is much more blunt:

    “Act like a dumbshit and they’ll treat you like an equal.”
