Fraud In Science? — No Really!

SEE HERE The sentence that caught my eye was the one that said it had increased ten fold since 1975.  That's troubling indeed.  Integrity, honor, truthfulness, and the many other virtues have all been on the slide since about the 1960's when a great awakening occurred that basically was anti-intellectual and anti-virtue in tone and content.  The cry of the anti-war protestors at Berkley that "... Western Civ has got to go" was a cry that undermined the heritage of the West.  We are paying the price in the form of a fall from virtue, a failure of vision, a decline is ability and merit brought on by an abandonment of integrity.  Little wonder that we find the vices on the rise.  C.S. Lewis saw it all coming when he gave the lectures that became the volume, "The Abolition of Man."  We deny objective morality at our own risk and the price is very high.
