Religion and Political Correctness Killing Science
Many in academia say that religion is ruining science and preventing research and development dollars from the government from going into things like stem cell research and biotech. This may be in fact true however we also need to look at the flip side of things.
For instance political correctness is forcing billions of dollars of research and development monies to go into alternative energy projects, prototypes and products at an astounding rate and this fact is causing fewer dollars to go to other things. Political correctness also slows down and complicates research and eliminates free thinkers.

“Climategate” – Hoax Or Political Spin?
As the warmer December winds move in the Bay area, producing humid 90 degree temperatures, many have uttered the words “global warming”. I remember seeing the Jacque Cousteau documentaries and NASA films of dying fish populations, receding coral reefs, crashing ice bergs in Greenland, polar bears hopping from one ice fragment to another starving looking for food, maps showing the melting lands in Antarctica, and stories of holes in our ozone layer getting larger. But is this all an illusion? Is there really global warming or is this made up science?
A news story is out right now called “Climategate” that purports that hackers found e-mails of scientists manipulating data concerning our climate and global warming. There is in fact conflicting evidence and all scientists don’t agree, although most do agree that global warming is real. Interesting though, is the timing of the hacked e-mails as they came out right before the Copenhagen Conference. This suggests an inside job and another political spin. Some say they were the Russian Secret Service.
