  I seem to have forgotten
What year is it? I have been operating under the assumption that it is the year 2005, well into the 21st century. We are not supposed to have governments of free nations quashing information that disagrees with them, because that is the sort of thing one expects from an inquisition, right? We don't have those anymore, right?

Sigh. This is not the first time I've heard about the current U.S. Administration mucking about in science, and I suspect it won't be the last.
Abortion: “The removal from a National Cancer Institute website of a scientific analysis concluding that abortions do not increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer. That move, in November 2002, contradicted the broad medical consensus, and members of Congress protested the change. In response, the NCI updated its website to include the conclusion of a panel of experts that induced abortion is not associated with an increase in breast cancer risk.”
The unofficial slogan of John Rogers comes to mind: "Everyone who wants to live in the 21st century, over here. Everyone who misses the 1800s, over there. Good luck with that." (via Sivacracy)
