Thank you much. Your findings will mean a great deal, even if accompanied by partial documentation, to some biologists, geologists and anthropologists for whom we hold highest respect.

That was really interesting, thanks for sharing that

If you’re still here - did you hear that they arrested a wildlife park official in the murders last year of the mountain gorillas?

we toddle on down to the Washington Post and ask them why nobody there gives a shit.

We may just have to do that. Because, you know, it’s kind of important.

don’t forget to ply them with bar-b-q

There is simply no way to put McCain (or any other conceivable rethug canddiate) and either one of our two Democratic hopefuls into one camp.. to do so IMO is pure demagoguary, or, at best, a focus on two narrow a subset of issues. I do have my questions on Obama.. IMO he simply fails to state his positions and policy proscriptions with enough clarity or specifity for me to judge whether his views match my own, but, frankly, I’ll vote for either of them. McCain’s values of those of his constituency — dead white men. The same can be said of neither the junior senators from Illinois or New York.

Nothing will materially improve under the Clintons, that is my attempt at a simple point. Which seems to be attacked as Clinton bashing, a meaningless distinction in my “umble” view. It is time for Democrats to recognize what a dramatic problem we have with the Clintons and McCain. We need to eclipse both the Clintons and McCain.

One might prefer Obama, but there is no comparison between Clinton and McCain, because one of them will get to appoint the next justice to the Supreme Court. Who, like Clarence Thomas, will serve for life. Whatever ones opinion of Clinton, it is imperative that this not be another neocon.

Adie- Feel free to cite the data. If you need more information contact me at pilt down at saclink dot csus dot edu (and make the first two words a single word i.e. piltdown).

This was supposed to be for in-class purposes only, not for publication and I’m not even sure if I still have the actual data sheets still around. But the results were so stunning that I would bet if the survey was replicated it would largely get the same results. I was actually quite surprised at the fact that the biological scientists (and even physical scientists) at religious institutions like Baylor and SMU had such high acceptance of evolution. I think recall one commenting that he accepted theistic evolution (i.e. “God created natural evolutionary forces so as to eventually result in something like us”).

I just signed. Cynically/realistically (which may be becoming synonyms), I have no confidence that your noble efforts will succeed. But, y’know, sometimes you just have to do what’s right.
