re: #872 iceweasel
I saw it! I’d commented up there too (and at more length), but let me say again: excellent analysis, thank you!
Here’s the link to the actual pew poll, which also supports what you’re saying.
[Link: pewresearch.org…]
So I took the little 12 question science quiz that was in that link. What upsets me is that only 10% of the public got these all correct, and honestly most of them are the sorts of questions I would ask someone if they had a recent head injury and I wanted to know if they were ok.
(Bottom line: scientists didn’t leave the Republican Party or conservatism; the GOP and what conservatism has become has left them).
