Columbia- Allows enemy of America to speak and spew his anti semite views. But disallows someone trying to guard our borders

Global warming- it exists, it just isnt manmade as Gore claims

Nobel peace prize- Arafat. That should explain it.

Some of us anyway.

This is the $10 million question!

I think it’s very possible that human thought can volitionally take two paths- reason and irrationality. Those who have chosen irrationality (most religious people and many conservatives) are/have consequently devolving/devolved.

It’s naive to say that numbers (data) can not be manipulated to serve a political agenda.

Every one of those agencies, universities etc. represent a wide range of ‘postulates’. More specifics would have been helpful here.
Every one of them has an interest in their self preservation.
That they say they use raw, unequivocal data does not mean they use ALL the raw data.
They too often stop when they feel that their hypothesis has been reached and their funding justified. Then they leave it up to someone else to get the rest and promptly call into question the credentials.
A scientist in MIT can use the same data to disagree with one at Cal Poly. Does that make one or the other ‘un-evolved’ ?

Edit: Mentat: Agreed. Mindless bashing is childish and unproductive but, you must admit, the bashees reputation precedes them especially with regard to global warming and the Nobel committee irrespective of what data was available to them.
Citing your list above makes me think that you consider them infallible which would be just as mindless as YA bashers.

Trying to reason with mindless bashers might prove an obstacle to your mentat aspiration toward a high level of cognitive power. Instead, try to have some fun with this. There is little else to be gained.
