[Coral-List] political arguments on coral-list

[John Cubit]

On 11/11/2010 Eugene Shinn wrote on Coral-list:

 "...Many of us older types come from a long-standing culture that
says science should be pure and not influenced by politicians,
kind-of-like separation of religion and government. The agency where
I spent 31 years had existed for well over a century because it stuck
to the science and was seldom accused of bias. That agency produced
hard data that could be used by people on both sides of the political
aisle...."

Instead of diatribes about bias, let's return to Gene's more positive
philosophy of 3.5 years ago and foster science based on
objectivity--science of open minds who base their work on critically
evaluated data, sound logic, and scientific principles.
