> i am talking about the oppressions, the crimes against reason that get me passionate about science and knowledge in general (a U.S. Federal Court judge, a very conservative Republican, just decided against a school district that taught Intelligent Design...

Yes. That hit the news over here last night.
:-)
I was a little disappointed in the commentary (we didn't hear the judge or what he said). I think... Creationism should be taught as part of philosophy of science, but not as science. The job of science... Is to teach the best current scientific knowledge we have... If you want to know *why* evolution by natural selection beats creationism as a scientific theory hands down then that is a topic for philosophy of science.

> i feel epileptic. except that i've heard that epiletic seizures aren't painful :-(

no. in fact... people often report feeling mildly euphoric after having a seizure (which is why they thought to induce seizures (ECT) as a treatment for depression)
