Science is not a democracy.

"“Reality doesn't answer to a vote.”


It doesn’t?! From what planet have you been viewing this controversy?"

Earth. Reality is what it is no matter what anybody wishes it to be. You can't vote away gravity... or evolution.

"In a representative republic, reality answers to majority’s vote all the time."

Postmodernist horse manure. Reality answers to nobody.

"Your angst is a classic example."

You're projecting again. You are the one with the angst. I am perfectly fullfilled with what I believe and what I know.

"I doubt this condition will inspire any self-examination on your part, though, only finger-pointing."

Actually it just makes me wonder what you have been drinking tonight to write such a rambling, incoherent post.

Nonresponsive, Sir. The issue is teaching standards, and if education is to be financed by government, then the standards must be subject to public policy. If, that is, we are to maintain our practice that a public voice be present where public monies are involved. You want to have your cake and eat it too. You want, that is, the benefit of public support without public participation. “Send your money, and shut up.” Archetypical Liberal schtick. With all the attendant blowing of smoke.

If you don’t want to play, then say so. Or just don’t respond. Your actual response is so empty, it’s embarrassing.
