careful how you label people
Why label him a [[conservative]]? Are you trying to discredit him?
We should not place political labels on scientists, unless we have a good reason. For example, [[Noam Chomsky]] is much better known for his leftist political views than for his academic specialty, [[linguistics]]. He brought [[transformational grammar]] to prominence, but then he exploited that prominence to promote ideas outside his area of demonstrated competence. *HE* deserves a political label. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 08:32, 30 January 2010 (EST)
