You'll have a hard time selling that idea to our resident global warming and evolution deniers.

Maybe our different experiences of the political leanings of scientists is purely geographic. I'm in upstate NY where everyone is very conservative. Even alot of our college professors - supposedly the vanguard of the socialist army.

My experience might also reflect the type of institution. I have been in academia for a while, now I'm out of it. Academia is seriously and very left. I'm not sure about how to classify where I am now, but I don't want to find out as that would entail talking politics with colleagues and I'm not going to do that.
