A few weeks ago, I found a great comment in this post about the relative liberalism of "creative" people from Althouse. A "chuckR" said:
Thirty years ago Al Gore may have been flogging a documentary on Ehrlich's world starvation theories. We are not daily bombarded by news of the latter as a result of the creative Green Revolution work of Dr Norman Borlaug, among others. To the third world, Borlaug may be the single most important American of the 20th century. It sure wouldn't be anyone from Hollywood. Borlaug's creativity stands outside simplistic liberal/conservative categorization.
I completely agree with the notion that creativity isn't limited to the arts, but what I found most interesting about that quote is the idea of Al Gore as a Chicken Little with a fondness for junk science. With that picture in mind, I'm pleased to present...
