What one says can only have traction with the validity of personal accountability behind it.
When I am wrong, I suffer the greater sting because my name is attached to what I have stated, therefore even when posting facetiously, I attempt to carefully consider the thrust of what I am posting.
Now consider this, This doctor "Doom" fellow is not the first to advocate the wholesale destruction of vast swaths of Humanity in the name of XXXX(pick your ideology). Again, a misuse of Science is advocated in the name of some type of evoltionary imperative. This is why evolutionary theory is looked upon as suspect by a great many religious folk. You can say this guy was a nut...but so was a certain mustached greating cards illustrator in the 1920's and thirties! Evolutionary theory may have some validity in describing the processes of life and its change over time, but it is constantly getting hijacked by those with more of a revolutionary anti-religious bent...who take the science into realms of thought it was never meant to go!
"What one says can only have traction with the validity of personal accountability behind it."
Actually, the only thing that matters is the logic of the argument put forth.
"When I am wrong, I suffer the greater sting because my name is attached to what I have stated, therefore even when posting facetiously, I attempt to carefully consider the thrust of what I am posting."
Your personal guilt over faulty claims is irrelevant when examining your arguments.
"some type of evoltionary imperative"
Sorry meant to say "revolutionary imperative"!
The evo crowd is not restrained by this humility, and it is overly optimistic to expect its behavior to conform to conservative norms.
However, I'll buy your a beer if you ever come to the Carolinas, especially for one of our FReeps!
