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

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.

No, the issue was reality. If you want to talk teaching standards, you should have mentioned them.

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

That projection thing again. I responded to your semi-coherent post, you just weren't up to it. You posted to me responding to this phrase of mine to someone else,

"”The creationists do think that science is a democratic process.”

I said science isn't a democratic process, and I stand by that. It isn't, because reality doesn't answer to a vote. That was the context of what I was talking about. If you are going to chime in to a post I make to someone else, know what the hell we were talking about.

You said that reality answers to the majority vote all the time. This is delusional. You said *Your angst is a classic example*; when I have no angst. Your post was all over the place. Put down the bottle and try writing something a little more coherent, or don't bother posting to me again.
