Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to*

More than half of the biologists and other researchers who responded to the survey said they knew of cases in which commercial interests, including timber, grazing, development and energy companies, had applied political pressure to reverse scientific conclusions deemed harmful to their business.

Business and religion trumps science in this Administration every time.
