You are certainly entitled to your opinion. Just understand that I am calling you on doing something that you often accuse me of.

The administration has excluded non-compliant opinions as a general rule, even you must admit this
Ace considering the evidence that shows it to be so. Bush did not need to be directly involved
(and likely couldn't understand it anyway), because he had removed most of those similar to Blackburn already.
When the bulk of the scientific community screams foul to the public, there is likely a reason behind it. And, considering this is the first time in history such a thing has been done we might want to pay attention to what they are bitching about. The next generation, and indeed our own will depend on technology and science to better our lot in life, as well as create the economic growth we need. I would hope we can allow this aspect of our future to help us, rather than hinder the future of our country by ignoring the people that might hold the keys to understanding.
Again, you seem to be trying to defend something that is not good for our country at all.....Why do you want us to be a backward nation? Or do you actually think its a good idea to quiet the scientific community?
