Hey, I'm not the one claiming that the "truth" of Global Warming is
being suppressed by the Bush administration which is "intimidating"
scientists. I'm not the one claiming that criticisms of
evolutionary theory by religious groups are "unscientific" and must be
eliminated from all school curricula. And I'm not the one who says
"if you disagree with your professor, you fail." That's University
research scientists. And that's the system. Live with it.
