Defend Science!!

There's a new, important group out there called Defend Science. Their goal is to:

rally broad opposition and resistance to the mounting attacks on science and scientific thinking which are unfolding in the United States.

This is a good thing. Too much supression of scientific research and data is being done by politicians bending to the will of the "religious right," who are telling them what to do. Evil people like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell are basically blackmailing our leaders and politicians to strike down what they do not like, and be damned with people in need, or people who seek the truth.

I urge everyone to go to their site, read their statement, and do what you can to support them. We don't have time to waste.
