Jason, Paul, Michal, and and list. Jason, the one thing I would like to point out in your closing comments is this >
Even mainstream science can be wrong (eg: tectonic plates moving...) but then again, just try and get them to correct themselves.... THAT is the hard part.... In the case of the Fukashima Disaster... Japan didn't "move" 3 feet, the earth's circumference increased 3 feet.... there IS a difference between the two. did someone say "Rorschach Test" ? oops, I let the cat out of the bag..........
