The Disapearing of Science
An Urgent Message:
ALERT! Over the past few years, vital data has been deleted, buried, distorted, or has otherwise gone missing from government websites and publications.
...
DID YOU KNOW? . . .

SCIENCE IS BEING QUESTIONED - Scientific data on the effectiveness of condoms in preventing AIDS has been called into question on government websites and abstinence touted instead.

CRUCIAL OFFICES HAVE BEEN DISBANDED - Front-line offices designed to assure that the concerns of women are addressed in policy development, such as the Office of Women's Initiatives and Outreach in the White House, have disappeared.

THE PUBLIC IS BEING MISLED - Chief actuary of the Medicare program Richard S. Foster was ordered not to provide requested information to Congress on the actual cost of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, while government- produced television ads have masqueraded as news reports about expanded Medicare coverage.

SCIENTIFIC PANELS ARE BEING STACKED. . .

INFORMATION RESOURCES HAVE BEEN ABANDONED. . .

4. What brought this world knowledge
is now evil. Science teaches evil things. Science is evil.

Now, go to church, read the Good Book, and forget about all that education bullshit. The tuitions are too high for you to afford now, anyway. Wouldn't you rather get by day to day rather than have to worry about the next 10 years of paying off insane loans?

Again, just believe, don't question.

11. You only have to look
at Germany less than 100 years ago even. Can you imagine how advanced our civilization would be, if not for
POLI-freakin-TICIANS?

2. Scientific articles are not allowed to be published.
If they are from certain countries, like N. Korea, China, Iran, and Libya in American journals, despite the wishes of the editors and the scientists who review the articles for scientific merit.

Indeed, the freedom of speech is being curtailed, inside the United States.

5. Took the words right out of my mouth
Whenever organized religion gets the upper hand in government, it is a recipe for disaster.

7. When God created us, he did not intend for us to question stuff w/ science
and that other elitist mumbo=jumbo. I know what I know and I know that God did not put me on this earth to hear how God may not have put me on this earth or created the Grand Canyon for that matter.
