I do take issue with the fact that the terms "nazi" and "fascist" have come to signify "anyone who disagrees with me." I think hyperbolic rhetoric such as that only deepens the political divide we see here in the U.S., but I also think that's what many people in this country actually want.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
