Pshaw and thanks! Actually, I'm in Free Republic every day when I'm able -- just haven't been posting for a while.

> I do not think scientist or academicians are all amoral, I really don't.
No, of course not. But one can hardly resist a joke first told about lawyers: "99% of academics give the rest a bad name."

Pretty good one. We were at a family gathering today talking about how all of us could lose our job, every last one of us. We were engaging in the fantasy of all living with me and hubby, working the land, trying to survive. We handed out jobs to all the kids and sons-in-law,,one gardens, one cooks, one fixes things, etc. We couldn't figure out what the lawyer son in law could do,,till a daughter suggested we just eat him.

By the time this homosexual child molester gets out of the slammer, his victim will be waiting for him as a 33 year old man.
The homosexual child molester will be 72.
The homosexual child molester may get a serious taste of torture himsef.
Pay back can be a bitch.

> Science has no connection with morality.
I understand and share your concerns. But consider the point -- I believe it was Rousas Rushdooney's -- that a scientist may deny G-d with his lips but affirms Him every day in the laboratory.
The argument is, science is meaningless unless the universe is ordered by its Creator. If we live in a chaos instead of a universe, our search for replicable results and physical laws is simply nonsense.
I'm convinced that if the secularism is triumphant, we will lose our faith in the validity of science. In fact, I think the process is well along.

Strollo, a seasoned prosecutor, was incredulous after the hearing. "In all my years as a prosecutor, I have never heard people deliver comments so disconnected with reality." The communists are pretty good at this, wait a minute, those professors are communists. Explains but doesn't justify the disgusting support they showed. Makes me wonder if it wouldn't be better to home school children all the way through college?

"When you penalize Tony for his indiscretions, you also penalize society," he said. It is comments like these, through which academics - and all leftists - parade their (or what they think is) intellectual superiority, that particularly iritate me. I want to scream - "HOW!!!!????" How are we penalizing society for penalizing him? Because his advancment of the field of geology means so much....?
How can they be so intelligent and not understand the simplest of theories - If we have no morality, then we can have no future.

Oh, on the point of affirmation I heartily agree.
I was studying biochemistry this summer and got up to how the simple cell feeds itself. Perhaps I covered about 70-80 pages of text. In almost every other paragraph the authors wrote about the 'miracles of nature', how wondrously nature remembers the good protein structures and discards the duds, miraculosuly this combination of amino acids were selected. How nature cleverly uses the same plan over again. And many other equally contradictory comments were sprinkled through the text. The authors were screaming there is plan and purpose, a blue print, a designer, an intelligence that chose the correct path. But because of the absolute ban on giving any credence to the teleological proof of a creator they were forced to resort to the inanities I mentioned. I was tempted to write a short pamphlet using these paragraphs right from the text and replacing G-d in a side by side comparison. But I realized that those who have the benefit of seeing the wonders more clearly than anyone else, those masters of the subject, are the ones who would ridicule the effort the most. The ones who are blessed to witness G-d's infinite wisdom are capable of herculean contortions of self-blinding belief in sciencism. Perhaps I still should do it.

. . . if profits form the sales [of the rapist Professor's geology book] when to the victim.
Agreed, Murdoog, but this was a criminal trial and the merits of your argument/wish must await a civil trial, which I hope the boy's parents undertake. The rationalization of the professors makes the words "ivory tower" seem insufficient.

He might be a big man in college, but those guys will eat him alive. The article said:
Lasaga's sentence will run concurrently with the 15-year term issued earlier this week on federal child pornography charges.
Which brings up the point:
*Where* will he serve his sentence?
I bet they worked out a deal that he will go to Club Feb for the 15 year federal term. Does anyone know for sure?

As intellectually bankrupt as communism is, I don't think that I've heard of even more opressive communist regimes tolerating child molestation, especailly of the nature committed by this guy.
I think that whatever word well describes this man's supporters, "communist" isn't it. Perhaps "moron" for a start?

He doesn't get Club Fed on a 15 year term. He gets a rathole like Marion. I sure hope you're right. I'm afraid the Feds will say, "Ah, this guy just had some dirty pictures--its not like he's a violent criminal."

Liberals. Communists at least had their own tortuous version of right and wrong. Liberals are so sunk in moral relativism that they can change two principles and three deeply held beliefs before breakfast and be wrong all five times. That is about the same as "moron," but worse.

Er, I'm not sure that most liberals would approve of molesting a 7-year old boy.
