http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/newssentinel/news/editorial/9750522.htmAs a liberal, I try to do unto others what many supporters of President Bush would never do unto me: I respect their right to hold religious beliefs different from mine.
Pray and Let Pray - that's my motto. Or Pray and Let Not Pray.
But even liberals shouldn't tolerate the Bush administration's attempts to enshrine religious beliefs in government agencies, especially those that deal in science and health.

Politicizing science may attract a few more votes from the political base and a few more (millions of) dollars in campaign contributions - but at a grave cost. Messing around with the scientific underpinnings of government agencies threatens our lives and health.
