Post #891: . . . “it’s clear that in Kansas, as it is in the whole of the US, educational standards, including standards for the teaching of science, are a democratic process, as they have been for well over a century.”
“I said science isn't a democratic process, and I stand by that”
And what a brave stand it is, too, since it addresses nothing, as I pointed out in the same post cited above and just prior to the excerpt quoted: “Though it’s surely a bit too melodramatic to assert that anyone thinks science is a democratic process . . .” An attempt to pull you out of the illusion that you can take your eyes out of focus and utter a cultish incantation “science are facts, not a democratic exercise,” and thereby evade the understanding that you can’t escape public policy impacting science until you get science’s front feet out of the public trough. There’s a reality that won’t answer to your veto when you refuse to even look at a rational way to deal with the fundamental issue.
“That projection thing again.”
Psycho-babble. Buba-uba-uba-uba-uba-uba-uba (rapid finger motion across the lips). Blowing great quantities of smoke and wanting to have your cake and eat it too, is not rational behavior for a scientist. Only a Liberal would believe such tactics can fool anyone.
“If you are going to chime in to a post I make to someone else, know what the hell we were talking about.”
A peculiar attitude for someone who himself had ‘chimed’ in to a post made to someone else. I know ‘what the hell’ I’m talking about, and so do you (know what I'm talking about). You just can’t bring yourself to deal with it. If you don't want me 'chiming in' just ignore me and I'll go away soon enough
“. . . I have no angst.”
What?! You’re a FReeping poster child for angst. Your present angst is that you can't have your cake and eat it too. Your posts throb with angst.
(now, gentle lurkers, brace yourselves for another round of "yeah!?! so's your old man")
