Advocacy groups like Greenpeace and the Union of Concerned Scientists have already declared war on poor people and kids with their militant, anti-science hysteria against Golden Rice but actual scientists continue to work toward the common good.

There is more good news for kids on another front. A cow has been cloned and genetically engineered with a modification of its gene for producing beta-lactoglobulin, a protein which isn't in human milk and causes allergies in 2-3% of children. Potential benefit: a "hypoallergenic" milk that doesn't taste terrible, thanks to biology and scary 21st century science that freaks out progressive cranks.

The anti-GMO contingent may be anti-science, and they may be overwhelmingly progressive, but what they are not - and it is refreshing - is hypocritical when it comes to criticizing their own side of the aisle. Outside America, anyway.

Are you in favor of solar power?  Good luck getting any large scale installations to go up.  While energy activists want to get rid of fossil fuels and support solar power, environmental activists block solar plants with lawsuits. And then there is the union left, who block solar projects for environmental reasons too - unless the company agrees to use union labor even in a right-to-work state, then their concern about the environment disappears.
