What I want is a return to science. Scientific theory. Hypothesis tested to completion. Not the hyped up BS we are getting lately from politicians.
  • Observation: Every swan I've ever seen is white.
  • Hypothesis: All swans must be white.
  • Test: A random sampling of swans from each continent where swans are indigenous produces only white swans.
  • Publication: "My global research has indicated that swans are always white, wherever they are observed."
  • Verification: Every swan any other scientist has ever observed in any country has always been white.
  • Theory: All swans are white.
Prediction: The next swan I see will be white.

Today we get scientific results by committee. Not the above scientific process. Thanks Al Gore and the IPCC! You have done the world and scientific community a major dis-service!

Are gay swans white? Do they have the right to be married?

Actually, what we've gotten over the last 7 years is the bowdlerization and editing of Science by political hacks. We also have seen the rise of the Luddite Right who confuse the denotation of Scripture(the prose) with the connotation of Scripture(The Poetry). My answer to them is to take a walk down Oulduvai Gorge with the Leakeys.

ARRRGGHH! I 'ave a new Avatarrrgghh that looks remarrggghhhkambly like me.
