This time, it’s not about their weak knees on Iraq. It’s not about either one being two-faced on trade issues. It’s not about neither of them calling for a living wage, or a COLA on the current minimum wage.
Instead, while both will debate religion, neither will debate science.
A couple of science-related issues I’d like discussed are on my occasionally-updated Science and Reason Party blog, in my right-hand rail links.
Oh, no, Clinton and Obama can debate religion, as if that will help address global warming. (For those of you who are religious, I’ll remind you of the old anecdote of the couple stranded in a flood, and a rowboat, powerboat and helicopter coming by, with the couple saying “no thanks” to all three because “God is going to deliver them.” Prayer won’t address global warming, human action will.)
And, while the Green Party pushes for more action on global warming, and for getting us out of Iraq, nonetheless, a fair amount of Greens are New Agers, conspiracy theorists, or otherwise, if not hostile to science, dismissive of science outside narrow areas of their concern, or when it doesn’t fit their agendas.
