OUTSIDE THE CRUCIBLE

THE BUSINESS FACE of modern liberalism can be a scary place. My advise is to don't stare. Like the sun, it can damage your retina. George Moneo observes:

Liberals claim they are tolerant, compassionate and caring, but the exact opposite is quite often true. Tell me how anybody can trust a scientist who wants to put on trial those who disagree with him. Mind you, there is no empirical evidence to support the Incredible Flexible Theory™, just conjecture and computer models. But God help you if you disagree with Big "Science":

James Hansen, one of the world's leading climate scientists, will today call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and cancer.

Jim, just leave us alone. Please.
