Comment What is Wrong With Slashdot these days? (Score 1) 1334
I am literally going to be boycott Slashdot if it keeps up with these stupid scare headlines. I feel like I am discussing politics with crazy rednecks or conspiracy theorists.
"Science" is not under attack. This was simply a zoning issue. Western democracies have decided that it is ok to demarcate certain areas of a town for certain uses so people can't build a cement factory next to your home. Call me a fascist, but I wouldn't like my neighbor using his house as a chemistry lab where he could (potentially) have explosive or radioactive stuff.
Furthermore, "The Government" is a stupid term because there is no connection between what state, federal, and local governments do. The country comptroller has absolutely no connection whatsoever to the Bush administration.
