David Allen Walker, as always, briings up interesting points. Two
very encouraging bits of news recently:
1. In the face of an election race for State Board of Education that
pits a rational person against a creationist, the science faculty of
Case Western Reserve recently found 90% of themselves signing a
petition endorsing the evolutionary candidate. One could, of course,
ask why it wasn't 100%, but only if one had never been on any
committees.
2. We showed "An Inconvenient Truth" to most of our student body here
a couple of weeks ago, and virtually the only questions I got from
the 40 or so students I'm personally acquainted with were about what
they could do personally to reduce global warming.
