Shades Re: "best thing we had right now" That is practically the definition of a theory. But by accepting that a formulation is a theory is to also accept that the formulation may be in error, and to be open minded about credible evidence that tends to support this view. That is the proper way, and indeed the modern way in science. I'm not talking about science, but politics. And none of this bears upon college level curriculum but upon grade schools. The hard left is mostly atheist and they have a burning desire to promote atheism as a religion and partly for reasons I mentioned in another post. Their favorite target for the expression of their atheism is the public school system. As the majority of parents do not want their children lectured about the wonders of atheism, local parents groups have to be on guard to keep the classroom from becoming a platform for the worst sore-tails of the local atheist community. In every school system here in which my children have been enrolled this has been accomplished and the ideologues banished from their pulpits. Slagle

in fact some of my professors were like MOO - in the face of extraordinary evidence to the contrary they still were trying to make contradictory discoveries or sometimes new branches on the trunk of thier research studies Not sure what you are referring too :) But I am a natural contrarian and skeptic that's right...

Shades Re; "New Orleans" I just watched the most unbelievable performance on Meet the Press. Russert was interviewing a Jefferson Parish offical; the man began his tirade with impassioned demand that FEMA be given vastly expanded powers, made a cabinet level agency with authority OVER local officaldom. THEN incredibly he began to ATTACK FEMA saying that they turned back a shipment of water from Walmart, didn't allow a shipment of diesel oil (probably for the pumps) and that FEMA went and CUT his communication lines which he said HE reconnected and posted armed guards to protect. The guy ended the tirade in tears telling the story of a woman who drowned in a nursing home. What was that all about? If FEMA was spiking his rescue efforts why does he want their power expanded? Russert was clearly unprepared for this guy. This business is as strange as 911, maybe worse. I lived in New Orleans, right on St. Charles (the street car route) in the middle of the crescent and used to know the place like the back of my hand and nothing about this makes any sense. I wonder if the Jefferson Parish guy had been "preped" somehow to give a very "pro-FEMA" performance and then in the middle of his effort "turned" on his handlers and in the end broke down in tears? VERY STRANGE. I watch FEMA first hand here in my town after Charlie and they are really a spooky outfit. Efficient but spooky. I taped this and am going to play it back later. Slagle
