I already knew about the war on science made by the federal government of my country, http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/05/02/muzzling-science-canada-cuts_n_3187100.html
but turn out the government beyond the frontier (And most powerful country in the world.) is waging war on science too.

Yeah, those who deny global warming are not the same as those who globally deny warming, nor as the global ones who warm while they deny. And all this mess for want of a humble hyphen!

Government shouldn't be involved in science period but Lamar Smith is a special kind of *******, he also wrote SOPA. Politics is already heavily involved in "science".
