How the Right-Wing Brain Works and What That Means for Progressives | | AlterNet
Essay from Mooney's new book, The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science--and Reality
Yes, its from a liberal source and yes, its a science-based book but I hope rw's don't dismiss it out of hand. There really are some excellent points - even for the crazy right wing.
You might even see your own reflection ...
Science told us two years ago--that Tomatoes were causing Salmonella. It killed the tomato industry for several weeks until they found out it was coming from somewhere else.
Science told us in the 1980's to NEVER eat read meat--as it gave us heart attacks--and everyone starting loading up on the so-called low fat harmless carbohydrates. Our nation is now obese--and type 2 diabetes is the now the number health concern in this nation--and btw--it's now O.K to eat red meat.
I could go on with statements coming from the science community all night long--where they have blown it time and time again--but why bother?
