Cognitive Dissonance and Ideology

More excerpts from Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragamatist Manifesto:

"Why was water fluoridation rejected by the political right and Franken-food by the political left? The answer, I suspect, is that fluoridation came from government and genetically engineered crops from corporations. If origins had been reversed -as they could have been- the positions would be reversed too."
