AAPS, DDP, OISM, Jane Orient, Art Robinson, quite a crew. And most years, they DDP gives a Petr Beckmann award for courage in defense of science (or something like that). I omitted Marc Morano, who got it in 2010. "Marc Morano lauded for 'demonstrating courage and achievement in defence of scientific truth' as he publishes email addresses of scientists receiving death threats"

So Andrew Schlafly is working with an organization whose raison d’être is to prepare disasters that the rest of us might suffer… No wonder they want to conduct their nefarious work in secret.

Shakespeare: "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones." In this case, her son Andrew Schlafly carries on her efforts, see Anti-Science Associations: Rand Paul, Jane Orient, Art Robinson, Willie Soon And Friends and click on the social network graph. He's well-enmeshed. Among the links there is this one, at RationalWiki. He's spoken at least 5 times for Doctors for Disaster Preparedness. Spreadsheet there linked to his talks, but DDP talks have often been tagged Private since I wrote posted that. Too bad.

Who cares about this or that ideology? We are all destroying the biosphere.

One side would vehemently deny this, which is why it *does* matter. Assuming that you want public policy aimed at reducing – rather than increasing – the damage.

I feel the same about Schafly as Elvis Costello did about Thatcher..

I’ve heard it said that progress in physics comes one funeral at a a time. I suspect that the saying also applies to politics.

I sounds unseemly to celebrate a death. But, in this case, with someone so malignant, malevolent, and damaging, I’ll make an exception and loudly burst forth with a rousing chorus of “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead”:

Her vitriol kept her alive. Evil incarnate. If I believed in an afterlife my wish would be for her to never rest in peace, as I don’t then I’ll settle for being grateful this vile creature is no more.
