This reminds me of my daughter. Before she started speaking, she would go up to the window and bark.

"...my favorite part was watching a somewhat zany idea grow into a legitimate research project,” Stephenson said."

I don't really need to say anything more... Our tax dollars at work.

I am as tired of these baseless claims as I am the f’in mesothelioma lawsuit ads. And geico and and the Progressive gal and. . .

I have one...”Studies show that people who put out baseless studies are idiots.”

Except this study isn’t baseless.

Hey, it’s legitimate research; just because you don’t like it doesn’t affect its legitimacy one way or another. It reveals something very interesting about infant cognition we didn’t know — to the level of proof required for science — before.

Our tax dollars at work.

What we are learning about neuroscience, human cognition, language development and brain structures is some of the best work in the history of science. That emotional recognition is tied into deep brain structures or learned easily and early, rather than being a developmental thing tells us a lot about evolution and the human condition.

The kind of anti-intellectual anti-science bent you are on is the kind of thing that conservatives need to remove from amongst them root and branch if we are ever to escape from the liberal disease, because this kind of stubborn pride in being ignorant scares a lot of people. It scares the hell out of me for one.

" I bark at my dogs, too... :-)"

LOLOL! When I was on a rather extended trip some time ago, I used to call my sheltie and bark for him on the answering machine...

I agree 100% in that we need to pursue science.

Where the money for the research comes from however is a perfectly valid question.

No kidding, they're all so friendly and nice on commercials, until you file a claim...Then your the enemy that needs to be illuminated.

Another classless, tacky geico commercial with their worn out lizard, caveman schitch and it's mass murder.

And those with cable are paying to watch them...How sick is that?

Wow relax. I actually thought it was fascinating work being I have a 16 month old myself. I can relate to the story. My statement was pretty tongue and cheek.

I’m not some thumper who doesn’t believe in scientific research, I went to college in that environment just a few years ago. It’s just for every one of these studies you have 20 useless ones eating up grant money and state tax dollars.
