Harris has discovered, like many of his colleagues (I'm looking at you, Ben Carson), that there's more money and prestige to be had in demagoguery than there is in the pursuit of science. <br /><br />In the immortal words of Tengrain, "grifters gotta grift."<br /><br />And to think, I used to actually have respect for that guy.
