3. Very well said
It still amazes me that the anti-science people don't see the irony of themselves using the interweb/net to spread their views. Or of watching T.V. , driving their cars, using their air conditioning etc. while they deny the basic premises of knowledge.

But no longer. “People have lost the ability to judge what is true and what is not, what is reliable, what is not reliable,” he says in a video posted on Facebook. “That’s not the country I remember growing up in.
