I found this interesting and since it is from Fox, I thought many of you who might find it interesting would never see it otherwise
Don't "automatically" discount it because its from Fox. Stossel is as libertarian as they come.
I find many of the far right's positions absurd, but the far left's more dangerous.

"People talk about this Republican war on science, but if you look around, my question is, where are the casualties? What scientists lost their jobs?" asks Tierney. "I can't find examples where the right wing stopped the progress of science, whereas you can look on the left and you see so many areas that are taboo to research."
Some research on genetically modified foods became taboo because of protests from the left. That may have prevented a second Green Revolution to feed Africa.
