You completely missed the point.
History is well documented with cases of [scientific breakthroughs] that weren't realized until decades later because they were so radical that the "scientific society" rejected them, only to finally come around to accepting them many years later. So don't stand on science as being impartial to the status quo.
Also, when it comes to political objectives and outcomes, it is a extremely subjective "science". I googled different combinations of IQ/Education/Politics/Political affiliation and the majority of the immediate returns referenced the bush/kerry presidential race. Since both candidates were equally bad (as in basically all of the presidential races) I don't see how this proves anything.
The whole concept of "neither" seems to short circuit most people's brains when presented with an entirely rejectable "either/or" scenario.
We will not agree in this arguement because part of my arguement is that YOU cannot see bullshit in front of your face and your response will be that it isn't bullshit because it comes from sources you accept. Based off your posts, you are firmly entrenched in a "left" mindset. I don't even recognized the "left-right" paradigm as anything more than a political strawman. That is how far we are from being on the same ground to conduct a meaningful debate.
