That's a bit of a stretch Brent. I, too, am not overly enthusiastic about Vic's campaign against the fundies, but I don't presume to tell him what to do with his time, nor did I think Stephen was suggesting anything of the sort either. Of course, we don't seem to have quite the same problem with fundies here in Australia that you do on America. Mind you, the leader of our opposition party (the "Liberals") has gone on the record flaunting his religious ideals, and is a climate change denier to boot - I shudder to think what might happen if he got in. Most people I know seem to think he's a bit of a nutjob... BTW - I watched Agora last night. Very relevant to these matters... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Professor of Mathematics [email protected] University of New South Wales http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
