Bookmarked, a great read, thanks. Prof Glick has hit the nail on the head, so many good points. It seems to be fully entrenched and even when the 60’s draft dodgers retire, they seem to have ‘educated’ and put in position their desired replacements. I’m not sure how it can be ‘fixed’, as few even see the problem, so ensconced are we as a nation in feeling ‘guilty’ for our many ‘evils’. Sigh. I know I was taught this way in college, I started to buy into it, nearly became a Dem myself.
Here's one of the few that has the courage to define the problem:
".. Scientists are most effective when they provide sound, impartial advice, but their reputation for impartiality is severely compromised by the shocking lack of political diversity among American academics, who suffer from the kind of group-think that develops in cloistered cultures.
"Until this profound and well documented intellectual homogeneity changes, scientists will be suspected of constituting a leftist think tank."
"On the left, an argument emerged urging fellow scientists to deliberately exaggerate their findings so as to galvanize an apathetic public..."
"Conservatives have usually been strong supporters of nuclear power. .. Had it not been for green opposition, the United States today might derive most of its electricity from nuclear power, as does France; thus the environmentalists must accept a large measure of responsibility for today’s most critical environmental problem." ~ Kerry Emmanuel - MIT
