Trev,
There was a time that rationalists and scientists were burned at the
stake too - as heretics.
Aux is portraying me as a closed mind ('in concrete' - no less).
I am open to all kind of ideas as long as rational arguments can be
made, and evidence provided, to support the case.
I'm all for 'free thinking', but does that mean thinking without
rationality or discrimination? If so, it is hardly 'thinking' at all,
is it?
Ok. Burn the unbeliever!
