When Beliefs and Facts Collide - NYTimes.com

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/06/upshot/when-beliefs-and-facts-collide.html?_r=2

The deeper problem is that citizens participate in public life precisely because they believe the issues at stake relate to their values and ideals, especially when political parties and other identity-based groups get involved – an outcome that is inevitable on high-profile issues. Those groups can help to mobilize the public and represent their interests, but they also help to produce the factual divisions that are one of the most toxic byproducts of our polarized era. Unfortunately, knowing what scientists think is ultimately no substitute for actually believing it.

6 quotes that will remind your conservative family of Abraham Lincoln's liberalism Blue Nation Review

http://bluenationreview.com/6-quotes-will-convince-abraham-lincoln-liberal/

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."

- Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864 (letter to Col. William F. Elkins)

Fritinancy

http://nancyfriedman.typepad.com/away_with_words/

James Wood begins his New Yorker review of Gilbert's novelwith this comment on the unusual title:

The stunted title of David Gilbert's second novel, "& Sons" (Random House), does a lot of useful work. It hints at succession but also at severance; at a family tree but also at a broken commercial line. The implied absence gestures toward the great stories of intergenerational struggle: Turgenev's "Fathers and Sons," Gosse's "Father and Son." And then there is that cocky ampersand: slightly offen­sive in its abstraction, wearily dismissive, the key to the whole coda.

The Greatest Dietary Guidance? If It Gets Cold, Reheat It! | David Katz, M.D.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-katz-md/diet-and-nutrition_b_5266165.html

But then, inevitably, in a world where diets are embraced with religious zeal and we can't seem to manage a separation of church and plate, there's a group that lets disagreement veer off into disparagement, turning differing opinions into excuses for ad hominem attacks.
