> an assault on science and scientists anywhere is an assault on science and scientists everywhere No, actually, it isn't, and that kind of hysterical catastrophizing hurts our case. I'll readily agree that science funding is good, necessary, and even a matter of national security, but you need rhetorical limits. Really, it's that kind of howling and shrieking that led to the whole mess and turns public opinion the other way. Talk like a scientist. And yes I'm sure I'll get downvoted to heck on behalf of hysterical catastrophizing anyhow.
