<p>I think it’s really funny that “Owls for Israel” is listed as a conservative organization. Do we also lose conservative points for having one outspoken Palestinian professor? I’m so curious.</p>
<p>Re: global warming, I once asked a question at a Baker Institute event implying that it was a real thing (something about desertification and food shortages). It was over the summer, so there were a lot of older people from the surrounding wealthy neighborhood in the audience, and I got a few gasps/tsks. That’s the closest I’ve ever gotten to hearing somebody deny it at Rice, hahaha. Best part was that James Baker (yes, that one) was the one reading the questions to the speaker. Come to think of it, that may have been the shock factor.</p>
<p>I agree with everything stated previously, but would like to add that Rice students are certainly not hostile to conservatives. We’re an amicable group.</p>
