Very interesting information and nicely articulated! The patience and forebearance of the originator was also very civilized. Thanks! I think it's clear that the trend towards politicizing science is misplaced, as suggested by Dr. Michael Crichton (Jurassicc Park) in some of his lectures on the topic.'Better to allow the domains of knowledge their own space to function without adulteration IMO. For more on this line of thought, R. Buckminster Fuller's exquisite life-work summary/bio "Critical Path" is recomended to all. He was ahead of his time in 1987 and still seems to be!
Money is the enemy. Real Waelth is knowledge and good works. BTW liberating 23 million Iraqis from a psychotic dicatatorial regime that was in many ways worse than the Soviet Union seems to me to qualify as a humanitarian effort, but then I am old fashioned. I insist on making sense comprehensively when I express myself on global issues.
