Liberal GMO phobia
It is sometimes argued that Conservatives and Republicans are anti science. There is often a quest for Ballance (or a so’s your mother reply from conservatives). I recall reading about liberal anti vaxxers (sorry I don’t recall actual URLs). Chris Mooney noted that there is no detectable association of vaccine phobia with partizanship or ideology.
I thought there might be an association with GMO phobia. This is my second google search. The second hit is this Razib Khan post at discovermagazine.com
which includes this figure based on data from the General Social Survey which I fairuse
That’s 2 minutes of googling (plus some more minutes to post here).
I conclude that both defensive conservatives and knee jerk ballanced centrists don’t care enough about evidence to spend 5 minutes checking a claim before writing it. But I would conclude that wouldn’t I ?
Robert,
completely off-topic but I have quite enjoyed a new blog that I bumped into (from my mother country Australia) and thought this post might interest you in particular:

I know in the past you have claimed that investment is interest insensitive, but this is the first post I have seen making a strong theoretical argument as to why this should be true.
