</div>Well said Stefano. I see the entire debate as a good thing really: it<br>
causes the proletariat to think at least a little about science. Sputnik<br>
did that. Our current trouble with government in the US causes the citizens<br>
to think about the constitution. Global warming theory causes people to<br>
notice nature just a bit. It is a good thing for the masses to look at how<br>
science works and how government works.</blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Spike, if there is such a thing as a dictionary of idioms, then I think your sentence could be filed as a great example of "every cloud has a silver lining"!</div>
