You know, I'm not sure which offends me more -- my disagreement with their values, or the fact that they are applying their values to unproven facts and then glossing over the fact that they are unproven. Willful disregard of factual proof, or application of faith to sets of facts is an annoying habit of the right. Whether it turns out to be true or not, the fact that it gets to be regarded as true _now_ based on one or two theoretical papers is exactly the sort of thinking that leads to not teaching evolution in schools, declaring homosexuality to be a lifestyle choice, and all sorts of other offensive paternalism. Grr.
