Doonesbury tells it like it is: Our little evidence-based group isn't very influential.

Excerpt from the Doonesbury Sunday comic, 6-Sept-2009:
Professor: "Americans believe in many things that can't be verified. For instance, almost half of us believe in ghosts, and 40% in alien abductions.... And of course, we still have many fringe groups, like the JFK grassy knollers and the staged moon landingists, etc."
Radio DJ: "Is there any counter to these powerful theorists?"
Professor: "Only the reasonists...." (continued below).

You can see the entire comic here. *sigh*

I wonder wheres the evidence when I see sites like http://doihavealawsuit.com where all they talk about is filing a lawsuit against someone. It pisses me off. But good blog :)

Hmm...Should I believe this? ;-) How do we know this strip wasn't created by aliens?

Thanks for the find. I wonder though if the audience isn't already self-selected though. *sigh*
