Science is what brought us out of the "dark ages" and escorted us into the "age of enlightenment I thot it was politics, religion, money and sex that did that. "The markets were angry, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli"

My comment on "Fred on Everything" is the same thought Thomas Wolff had about one of mentors, and a great Canadian, Marshall Mcluen: Wolff said: "He hits very big nails not quite on the head". One quick survey of the end of almost all slavery in the world before the end of the 20th century, women's right to vote in 1919, social security in the 1930's, the end of institutionalized segregation in 1964, the undestanding of ecology and enviromental sensititivites in the 50'60's and the pervasive understanding of existentialism countering all of historical dogma of the world in the 60's, shows that science continues to push cultural evolution to a more humanitarian level. Before science, we had 2,000 years of the "dark ages" with almost no secular or humanistic gains at all.
