Can't speak for yourself, eh, kook?
"It is the responsibility of scientists never to suppress knowledge, no
matter how awkward that knowledge is, no matter how much it may bother those
in power. We are not smart enough to decide which pieces of knowledge are
permissible and which are not."
--Carl Sagan, in a 1991 commencement address at UCLA
Non sequitur. Nothing is been suppressed. Your paranoia is showing.
"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance!"
--Albert Einstein
Non sequitur. You have suggested nothing that can be investigated.
"The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but
because of the people who don't do anything about it."
--Albert Einstein
Non sequitur. This isn't about good or evil, it is about science. Where
is your science?
"There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale
returns of conjecture out of such trifling investments of fact."
--Mark Twain
Non sequitur. You aren't posting science. You are posting fairytales.
"Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but usually manages to pick
himself up, walk over or around it, and carry on."
--Winston Churchill
Non sequitur. You can't have truth without facts. You have presented no
facts.
"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof
against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting
ignorance--that principle is contempt prior to investigation."
--Herbert Spencer
Non sequitur. You have not actually investigated anything.
"If you are going to tell people the truth, you had better make them laugh
or they will kill you."
--Oscar Wilde
Non sequitur. We are laughing
*at* you, not
*with* you. HTH.
Nice meltdown, kook.
