I rely on good, apolitical, science to guide our planning and development. The junk science that the Bush Administration uses to advance their destructive agenda is almost criminal. They've been exposed as frauds but they keep promoting their lies as scientifically sound policy.

problem: the left is just as guilty of promulgating junk science and promoting those lies as scientifically sound policy.
for example, just look at invasion biology, the notion that 'foreign' species are destroying 'local' species, which has *no basis in any science at all*, and which is being used to bulldoze and clearcut natural areas because some soft-headed liberal decided that a plant was an invader (usually translating to "this plant is ugly and i don't want to look at it").
note: i'm not a disinterested party in this - my brother wrote a devastating critique of invasion biology. you can get it at amazon, of course! :yahoo_big
