The concept of FC as Greek chorus

That works. The frogs.

educated Renaissanceman bump:

Fare forward to the end.
all other ways are closed to you
Except the way already chosen.
But what is pleasure, kingly rule,
Or rule of men beneath a king,
With craft in corners, stealthy stratagem,
To general grasp of spiritual power?
Man oppressed by sin, since Adam fell--
You hold the keys of heaven and hell.
Power to bind and loose : bind, Thomas, bind,
King and bishop under your heel.
King, emperor, bishop, baron, king :
Uncertain mastery of melting armies,
War, plague, and revolution,
New conspiracies, broken pacts;
To be master or servant within an hour,
This is the course of temporal power.
The Old King shall know it, when at last breath,
No sons, no empire, he bites broken teeth.
You hold the skein : wind, Thomas, wind
The thread of eternal life and death.
You hold this power, hold it.

"If we are going to discuss scientific information in the textbooks, the discussion will have to remain scientific," Berlanga said. "I'd like to hear from some of our scientists in the field on the subject."

Stephen J. Gould would have been perfect for this. My biology course in Texas was pathetic. When it came time for the course on evolution our teacher spent 5 minutes on it and went on to ecology. I think High Schools need a brief over view in inductive and deductive reasoning in every science class. They should gear more of their classes toward experimental methods first, then move on to taxonomy and evolution. From what I see, biology text books are a jumbled political rag.

Wasn't that fascinating to watch a thread that was good the whole day, turn to garbage after 2:30 PST placemarker.

Wonder why that is?
