Substitute "society" with "religion," and there you have all the world's problems.

Galileo was sentenced to house arrest because he was a dickhead...the official "reason" they used was null because the church was starting to come around to the idea of the science...however, coming around should not be implied to be "close to being accepted..." Worlds apart...

Speaking of Canadian science, folk singer and former Canadian government scientist recently lost his position for this song:

It is mind boggling that people in this day and age can even consider doing anything other than completely embracing science. Our world is utterly dependent on science. Everything have use, everything we interact with, everything is here because of science. How can there be a war on science? It just doesn't make any sense.

But it's here. It's absolute madness, but it's here.

Not a science video, just another "anyone but Harper " political commercial.

It's totally a science video with only a small part of the video dedicated to explaining Harper's science policies. You might have a little bit of confirmation bias going on...

It definitely focusses partially on Canada's current scientific political climate but because of that is highly topical, considering what will happen over the next eight days. To dismiss it is to give power to Harper and the Conservatives.

There's a big issue with how science and scientists are being treated in Canada currently and it's not even a new subject. But it's not sexy enough to hold attention long enough for people to actually get upset like we need....
