向右轉, 向前走

Academia, including professors and scientists, have officially fallen. Their detachment from the daily grind has painted a rosy picture of socialism. The so-called free thinking turns into rebellion against establishment. In a simple word: hippies. There's no more balance thinking in academia due to their progressive-only mindset.

For journalism, it's long dead. The penetration of communism in the press corp and the insatiable appetite for controversy, the press has turned into a joke, nothing more than commentary and paparazzi.

The face of our society is changing. Young people come out of academy pursuing social sophistication by matching down the lane of progression and phoniness. As sad as it sounds, things will get even worse. The question is, are you ready for it?

看到一樣的統計資料，每個人的解釋都不會相同。
我傾向人會投票支持提供對自己有利政策的政黨這個解釋，也就是就結果（選上了會得到什麼）而論，而非就本質（也就是這個人腦袋是想什麼）而論。
簡單地說，教授與科學家仰賴大量的國家經費提供他們薪水以及做研究的錢。布希政府因為砍了太多研究經費把錢拿去打仗，當然教授和科學家不會挺他。而砍這錢對工程師的影響不是太大。
農夫和牛仔則是深受共和黨長期補助的對象，當然支持共和黨囉。
老師的部分你的說法跟我的理論符合，就不再多說。
至於理念的部分，我想教授和科學家先天上就跟擁抱創造論的共和黨水火不容吧。

Nice conspiracy theory. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. Academic and scientific funding are mainly from the industry, not the government. The lack of funding is due to the lack of vision from the private industry.

What's your base of this argument? Please don't make it up. You phony socialist.

我倒是想從政治的左右派，而非經濟的左右派來解釋：民主黨向來比較自由派，所以比較受科學家與教授的歡迎，記者也是，因為這些職業都需要自由，言論自由，講學自由，思想自由。所以意識型態上就傾向民主黨，與經濟利益關係或許沒那麼大。至於工程師，重視的不是自由，而是可行的建設，因此與政治或經濟的左右派沒有直接必然的關連，故政黨傾向不明顯。

我要自打嘴巴：臺灣的情形卻不能有上述理論解釋。我們的記者怎麼都不是自由派，我們的教授也沒有那麼多的自由派，而科學家與工程師更像是冷漠派。
