DanG 1 #77 August 20, 2013 QuoteOne I have to assume now, you disagree with In part I do disagree. I think most of the political sniping lawrockt is talking about happens in the media and non-scientific community. Scientist can surely be petty and motivated by ego or politics, but the vast majority are quitely working away, not getting in the public eye or appearing on talk shows. And, in the same vein, lighten up, Francis. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #79 August 20, 2013 [Reply]Good policy is the result of good study and good science Nonsense. Good policy is the ability to balance competing interests. That also means balancing good science with other good science. It means being able to identify junk science. But in the battle of science versus rhetoric, the rhetoric will always win. Take nuclear power, for example. Rhetoric and fear-mongering prevailed. It's got a long track record of success. My wife is hotter than your wife.
