WTF happened to the Science forum?

[beam me up scottie]

I can't stand it anymore.

Pseudoscience almost always looks so harmless, how can we possibly view it as a threat, people ask.

Why do you get so worked up about it, why do you care what other people believe?

We must all work for the big pharma/medical mafia industry, we're told, we're helping them disguise the poison delivered to our kiddies in hypodermic needles.

Anti-science crusaders hide behind the "science" peddled by political appointees that were installed by religious troglodytes.

Hypocritical and blind, they plug their ears and join in a chorus of "la la la la la-I can't hear you-la la la la la" as they willfully ignore scientific experts and joyfully parade around admiring their own shameless ignorance.

So we soldier on, countering it when we can, mocking it when we can't, desperately hoping that a Democratic administration will be voted in so that the nightmare will end.

And then, one fine day, you log on to DU, excited to be nearing the end of an 8-year jihad against science, only to find that DUers have, by proxy, appointed RFK "vaccines=mercury=autism" Jr. as head of the EPA, FDA, and every other head position at governmental science-related agencies ending with the letter 'a'.




Stop the damn planet.



Fuck it, just slow it down a little.
