Fear of science.

Fear of hard data.

Fear of "Communism." (Alternately, you could title this "Acceptance into the Loving Embrace of the Cult of Capitalism.")

Those few things cover a huge swath of the terror-filled mindset that has put a stranglehold on a great deal of possible progress in my lifetime.

It's not a coincidence that incidences of Parkinson's disease and other related types of neurodegenerative disorder are concentrated in areas of the country where certain agricultural chemicals have been used willy nilly. It's infuriating to watch this happen to people and know that this is why.

Would it help to think of rape seed as 'turnip' seed? Because it's a brassica, a cabbage, that we managed to turn into an oil producing plant.
