Montreal Simon: Can Science Turn Conservatives Into Liberals?

It was weird out there last night. A massive modern art show was going on all over the city, from dusk to dawn.And in my neighbourhood there were all kinds of strange and disturbing sights. Like people writhing on the sidewalk, or a hall full of 30,000 black paper moths,

Well it couldn't have been a more grotesque spectacle, the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the U.S. Congress, and claiming that all he's interested in is peace.When the only reason he was there was to try to improve his chances of winning the next Israeli election, try to start a war with
