Science, Truth, and Politics 0

I found yesterday’s Fresh Air radio show to be very interesting.

First, Terry Gross interviewed Chris Mooney about his book: The Republican War on Science, which contends (according the description on the WHYY website) that “that the Bush administration has distorted research and misinformed the public on issues ranging from stem-cell research to global warming. The motivation, Mooney argues, is political power.”

She followed that with an interview of Robert Walker, identified as “a retired congressman from Pennsylvania who served as chairman of the Science Committee, (who) responds to (Mooney’s) allegations.”

Listen to it here.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
