Bill, That's the one thing that cheered me up today! I had stopped reading those some time ago. Generally a waste of time. Now they've turned into great comedy. And I'll be looking for those strange blue freeway signs designed to direct UN troops up from Mexico and into Los Altos... It seems that with Whitewater pretty much over, the conspiracy nuts don't have anybody to blame right now. So they're hopping on Y2K as a "trigger" for all the horrible things they expect to happen. There was a brief respite last week, when they hopped on the Kennedy death as proof of a conspiracy. mg

Ahhh...the weekend, when the thread drifts OT. Recent references to the Y2K thread, homeopathy and other wacko ideas came to mind when I ran across the following while browsing through back issues of What's New: aps.org SUPPRESSION OF "NEW SCIENCE": BUDDY CAN YOU PARADIGM? Those attending last weeks Annual Meeting of the Society for Scientific Exploration in Albuquerque (WN 4 Jun 99), take pride in "thinking outside the box." Talks on such uh, diverse topics as divine intervention, cold fusion, biological transmutation, precognitive dreams, psychosurgery, after-death communication, alien breeding experiments, clairvoyance, electronic signaling from the dead and prayer healing, were all accepted as serious science. There is no internal criticism in a community that believes it is under siege. Convinced that powerful vested interests, including the scientific establishment, are conspiring to hold back a scientific revolution, speakers complained that "new" science is denied funding, rejected by journal editors and even subjected to ridicule, just because it doesn't fit some outdated paradigm. Alas, to wear the mantle of Galileo it is not enough that you be persecuted by an unkind establishment, you must also be right.
