re: But I'm not sure about any of this. That is why freepville is so much fun. I see folks like yourself who seem to share some of what I think, engaging, not illiterately, but literatly, w/ evo-kooks ... I really really like that term ... and I watch them ignore your fundamental argument and proceed to beat the drum. )))

And always remember that there's a nice big FRee world outside the evo-holes.

Go explore, and it wont be long before you find many niches. Some are of the photoshop fun and games (like the Viking Kitty goes a Zottin'), there are artists and musicians to talk to. I've been here awhile and speak to many scientists wouldn't set a keyboard toe inside an dank little evo-hole. Thery're too busy actually doing science to want to spend time with obsessives who lust to dominate a few fellow freepers.

But the point about lawyers is interesting--they do have that will to dominate. But what they also revealed with the outcome of Dover is a (hysterically) gleeful "so there" to the religious, and an insidious "the GOP needs to unload the religious, or it'll be thought of as the anti-science party.." "Maybe we should go after Santorum in the primaries, wound him for the general election."

ding--an agenda here,not a debate. It was at this point that I started keeping better track of what goes on in the evo-holes.

"ding--an agenda here,not a debate."

ding indeed. Gradually, my expectation in the coming years is that this is going to become more and more obvious.
