The American people are remarkably scientifically illiterate in general and fairly short sighted. It does not excuse deceit, but our general public is not quite a bastion of critical thought and careful consideration.

I am sorry if being realistic sounds like smug arrogant contempt, but such is far from the truth. Rather, I am hopeful that some day people will learn that liberals and conservatives alike are focused on their own agendas and self-serving natures and that very few of them actually have the best interests of the public in mind. But I don't believe it will happen any time soon, as we're too caught up treating politics like sports and blindly rooting for their favorite team (Red vs. Blue).
