I sent it to my daughter who is the president of the College Free Thought Society at UWEC and also posted it to my Facebook wall. (Don't get me started on the foolishness and waste of time that is Fb...however, I'm hoping to get some of the Fb Wasteland to think now and then by posting items worthy of thought.) The article mentions in the beginning that nobody wants to speak up against these lunacies due to fear of seeming impolite or discriminatory, but how about because we're just afraid? Those fervent Creationists are kind of scary, especially since common sense doesn't enter the picture and you can't have a rational discussion with them. The article did make me wonder when becoming a scientist became something to not aspire to or not be proud of. What triggered that, sociologically speaking, I wonder? It has troubled me for awhile that we seem to be sliding backwards in the areas of education and human rights and civil rights. What do you do when rational thought becomes taboo?Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/05979446142128610261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-44072877769463780672011-01-20T10:57:18.935-07:002011-01-20T10:57:18.935-07:00Boonie,

A dictator government and its supporting aristocracy (legislature in the US) rarely has to answer for its misdeeds. Perhaps an individual is a scapegoat now and then. But nothing more.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311083597294672388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-16506975645033039062011-01-20T07:51:21.377-07:002011-01-20T07:51:21.377-07:00About Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, and the...About Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, and the lack of evidence: did the author discuss why there were so few consequences of not finding any WMD once the war started? Why weren't the war promoters totally discredited after that?kaBLOOnie Boonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845667016536890886noreply@blogger.com
