American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 48•14 • Apr 5, 2012

A new study published in the American Sociological Review found today’s conservatives have less trust in science than the conservatives of the mid-1970s. What do you think?

“Of course they do, when scientists go around saying crazy things like a pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of gold.”

“Maybe science should go back to bringing us less of the AIDS and climate change, and more of the polio vaccines and atom bombs.”

“The saddest part is they'll never even believe this study.”
