on A Conversation with Bill McKibben

The host just said "What do you do about people who DO NOT BELIEVE THE SCIENCE?" -- this is the scary thing for me, that many Americans do not "accept" the scientific method.

how can we increase science education and knowledge quickly in this country?

on Sam Scandal

Sam Adams should not resign.
Yes, he had sex. Yes, he lied. Yes, he apologized.
Yes, he cares about this city. Yes he is positioned to take Portland forward.

Leave his sex life alone and stop the Puritan madness and obsession w/ sex; especially gay sex.

on Measure 58: English as a Second Language

the DATA from educational research shows that ESL teaching works - KIDS LEARN BETTER!
Those who advocate removing it from the schools are living in a post-fact society. Decisions made with disregard for facts are scary, not to mention wrong. Vote to defeat measure 58.

on Burning Questions

Lstening today I was very disturbed by the egregious comments attacking the OHSU primate center. One caller described her outrage w/ no evidence- and the defense lawyer you had as a guest described the center as a place where real "terrorism" takes place.
NOT OKAY!!!
OHSU has been a target in the past and uncensored comments like these put REAL people, scientists and support staff at risk. not to mention very valuable research also put at risk.
Sincerely- nan adams
