One thing the internet has done, is everyone including myself, can foist an opinion on the world. The problem becomes evident when everyone thinks he or she has the true answers to life rather than just an opinion. Too many people with limited educational skills reject the ideas and facts of established scientists because of their belief systems. Their beliefs become a mental placebo. Because they believe it, and it makes them feel good, their beliefs become truth. So if your beliefs make you happy scientific facts only ruin your happiness. Science becomes Voodoo because it falls outside your belief system. Now throw in your personal interpretation of the bible or any book considered holy by you, and scientists become pointy headed Voodoo priests spouting heresy. This mentality considers evolution, D.N.A. research, global warming and stem cell research as immoral magic. Watch the 2012 elections to see if we move ahead into the future or slide backwards into a repressive past.
