Biologists conspired to submit fake {LYNX} fur

"Wildlife biologists nationwide live by a code of ethics," Inslee said.

All, Yeh...... Well,,,,, okay. I'll buy that. This from Congress. Peace and love, George.

"Wildlife biologists nationwide live by a code of ethics," Inslee said.

I don't THINK so..........

[George Frm Br00klyn Park]

An official at the University of Montana lab doing the testing told him "that once these results were put together, they would issue the results of their survey for that year. It was not like a draft was going to go to them and they would have time to make corrections and go back. He said there was no procedure and there was no vehicle in place for them to actually go back to correct that survey, so it would have been made part of the national survey," Malfi said.

Guys, Yep! And, our Congresscritters would continue to allow the politically appointed bureaucrats to impose their "ethics" based {whims of man} illegitimate policies carrying the force of law to further tyrannize U.S. of A. citizens BASED on this fraudulent science. Peace and love, George.

"Wildlife biologists nationwide live by a code of ethics," Inslee said.

And that ethos is:

"Any action that furthers our cause is acceptable."

Stalin, Hitler, Mao, et. al.

[Tacis]

The main purpose of ANY government employee is to fudge his numbers to make him, his project/program/ or his department look better than they really are to ensure continued or expanded budgets. PURE & SIMPLE!!! These guys submitted fur instead of data/numbers but they probably did that, too.

[Texan5]

Time to negate every study these idiots have done over the last ten or 15 years and do them over using REAL science-like proving every theory by the scientific method we were all taught about in junior high school. Today's "scientists" seem to have forgotten about that.

“Gaian perception connects us with the seamless nature of existence, and opens up a new approach to scientific research based on scientific institutions arising from scientists’ personal, deeply subjective ecological experience. When the young scientist in training has sat on a mountain top, and has completed her first major assignment to ‘think like a mountain’, that is, to dwell and deeply identify with a mountain, mechanistic thinking will never take root in her mind. When she eventually goes out to practise her science in the world, she will be fully aware that every interconnected aspect of it has its own intrinsic value, irrespec-tive of its usefulness to the economic activities of human beings.”

– STEPHAN HARDING

I think he meant scientific intuitions arising from scientists’ personal, deeply subjective ecological experience, but who am I to judge? ;-)

[Texan5]

I think you're right about that...but then I still believe that a theory not proven by the aforementioned scientific method is just junk science. Is that old fashioned, or what?

[Marylander]

Never trust a "scientist" using his science to argue for policy.

This goes for "scientists" of any political persuasion.

If he's arguing for policy by using his science he's an activist first, scientist second.

I once believed the two activities could be logically separated, but I am now convinced human nature decrees no one can to do both.

[gaspar]

Rep. Jay Inslee joins the pack of Democrats who knowingly cover-up government wrongdoing and work to support leftist ideologues. This begs the question, is there an honest Democrat left in Congress?

[George Frm Br00klyn Park]

"I once believed the two activities could be logically separated, but I am now convinced human nature decrees no one can to do both."

M, With RARE exception to that rule. It seems to fit Orwell's "bad is good and good is bad" writings. The "exception" has become the "rule", and "science" has become subjective to the whims of "present" {any given} day man. This is NOT good. Peace and love, George.

[Carry_Okie]

Is that old fashioned, or what?

Self-deception through "emotional honesty" has the become the new standard of "honesty" per the American Psychiatric Association. They regard all observations and all reality as ultimately subjective and any pretense of objectiviety as ultimately dishonest. They would rather have us act as the little tin gods that all would be.

It certainly has been good for the shrink business.

[Texan5]

I'll keep my "dishonest" objectivity, thanks. When I was in college, I read about a "philosopher" who convinced himself (and apparently, a lot of others) that all things existed because we believed they did. This "new honesty" sounds as looney as his idea to me.....

[Bonaparte]

"...any pretense of objectivity as ultimately dishonest."

Except when their patients are paying their fees. These shrinks are very objective about how many zeroes are on those checks.

[Carry_Okie]

That was Sophocles. His followers were called Sophists, from whom we get the term "sophisticated."

Rudlof Carnap proved mathematically that the sophists' question could not be answered, and was therefore a pseudo-problem in philosophy.

[Texan5]

Thanks-I'm not much of a philosophy buff. I seem to remember that this guy I read about lived in the 18th century and was British, but I could be mistaken.

[Carry_Okie]

As I recall, Sophocles predated Aristotle.

[Texan5]

This guy was a Brit, with an English name, and wrote in the so-called "Age of Reason". He was probably just parroting Sophocles-I understand that a lot of the 18th century "philosophers" just repeated Greek ideas. My guess is that they didn't have any ideas of their own.

[ElectricStrawberry]

Unfortunately, blanket statements like this still grate my whole life as a government employee. Guess what? I'm a biologist and I work for the government. If I "fake or fudge" my numbers, PEOPLE DIE.

I do not defend these tree-hugging-scum that give real biologists a bad rap, but I will also not stand for people bashing my profession in such a close-minded manner as to think that the purpose of ANY government employee is to falsify data.
