ORIGINAL: Hillwilliam This kind of dovetails in with the "anti-intellectual Americans" thread. In a different political culture, this endorsement would really have people saying, wow, we should really vote for Obama. Especially if you consider how closely linked science and technology are to innovation, new business ideas, job and wealth creation. The ultimate value that scientists add to the economy, measured in both quality of life and dollars, is absolutely massive. But sadly, in the U.S. these types of considerations are not important. "Those f**king smart elitist a**holes. I'm not voting for them." Not to mention most scientists don't spend a lot of time worrying about the rights of sperm and eggs and fetuses. Those immoral f**kers. It's simple. People who are capable of independent thought and analysis of a situation are less likely to drink Kool-Aid. Therefore, the extremist media (servers of said kool-aid) starts a hate campaign against them.
