re: #896 JustAHouseWife

Sometimes government funded research is bad and wasteful spending. My husband worked for California EPA and quit for the private sector because of the waste (and the private sector is more honest, because they will be sued if they sell bad data and overspend) He didn’t want to be a part of that-our tax dollars wasted on things by government scientists you would not believe. Sometimes these scientists want to be funded just to have their job. So, since MOST people believe in God one way or another, and most people make all kinds of professional and business choices in spite of it, I think jumping to an all out conspiracy theory in Canada’s government (of all places) is a bit over the top.
I want all the facts, and this sounds political to me.

My Canadian friend in the wheel chair, has a rare nerve/brain disease.
He will not let Health Canada touch him anymore.
He says they treated him like a guinea pig.

So I have some insight into all of this too, besides suspecting a Creationist plot to not fund science.

I can’t seem to type a short comment ever!

There is ample and abundant evidence, provided by Minister Goodyear’s own words, to consider him to be evolutionarily illiterate at best and anti-evolution at worst. And his selective actions concerning zeroing out the budget of Genome Canada to pursue new research, but not similarly treating the scientific funding of other non-bioscience concerns, only serves to buttress such considerations.
