Read Jay Bookman today and just had to post it. While we all would like government to reflect reality as we see it, most of us are not in the position to rewrite history/science/current events to fit our own view of the world. I guess if I knew how to fight this sort of thing effectively, I would be in power by now. Alas, all I can do is point these things out ("preach to the choir"?) and hope that, at some point, the electorate will grow to realize what is happening. Keep the faith.
