Bruno, at this point I really don't want to hear any more crap about "comp", right now I just want to know if that is what you're really trying to say. Being provocative is all well and good, but not to the point of stupidity. > Galileo was blinded > Blinded? BLINDED!? Were talking about Galileo and the church but it's Galileo who was blinded!? This is yet another thing that gives philosophy a bad name, I may have heard stupider remarks in my life but I can't think of one right now.
