60. Be glad to tell you
I responded to RainDog's statement "--so, the article is saying that because we live in a "democratic" society, those in this society with no fucking clue about science should be able to weigh in on whether it's good or bad science. Why don't we extend that to the operating room-- let a surgeon have a cross section of citizens who can also make decisions about a surgery b/c we live in a democratic society. it's the exact same bullshit idea."

Which is pretty much what you're saying.

Is there some common source I should be reading? Maybe I could just respond to that.
