Whoaa....I was impressed with your work and agreed wholeheartedly, Steve, 
with your previously expressed concern about and refereeing for _the 
Authority of Science_.  However, your now making so many emotional claims, 
including those involving contemporary politics, and in particular how we 
are going to wake up to an entirely new way of understanding and revising 
(Virginia?) history after the Nov. 4 election seems to be throwing religious 
palms at a really weird political messiah....
(I guess you're speaking of Senator McCain.)

I wonder what many of us may be (re-)thinking by the time Easter or Ramadan 
rolls around.

This TJ-SH discussion is indeed warping people's minds in many ways....some 
we haven't even started to think about....so why not stop now.
