Daily Wolftracker Update
Kansas City Catholic has a nice summary POST for today. Perhaps the most interesting link there is the strange ARTICLE by one Mike Hendricks.
The latest poll says all but 14 percent of likely Missouri voters have made up their minds on stem cells.
Fifty-one percent are for the amendment, which protects that type of research from political interference, and 35 percent are against it.
Personally, I find the certainty on both sides curious, given that your average Missourian is about as qualified to vote on Amendment 2 as I am to overhaul my computer.
That’s not a put-down.
Most Kansans are equally ignorant about the details of stem-cell research, I’d guess.
Same goes for average voters in the 48 other states and the District of Columbia.
I base those conclusions on the fact that Americans are abysmally ignorant on matters of science.
Something absurdly condescending about that whole piece, I think. I continue to be a large unfan of the “science is too complicated for anyone but scientists” approach. It’s not helpful, and it’s not true.
