I don't believe left wing wacko "scientist" any more than I believe
right wing wacko "scientist".

Allen, why do you assume all scientiests are either left-wing wackos
or right-wing wackos?

Most scientists I've known over the past 40 years have been pretty
solid, thoughtful, moderate people.

Scientific training encourages one to be careful not to "go beyond the
data" and to be skeptical of evidence until it's corroborated.

This doesn't always carry over into one's life away from the lab, but
it tends to.

In any case, how would you KNOW if a scientist is a left- or
right-wing wacko?
