One of the comments made a good point, will they be prosecuting weatherman next?
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

Montepulciano IS an extraordinary wine.

The rest of it is fucked up and about what I'd expect from a nation of catholic slaves.

I see the 'American Dream' is spreading. "Who can I blame and how much can I get".
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
-- The Rev Lovejoy

Seems like it IATIA.

This reaks of the recent 'Black Saturday Bush-fires' witch hunt.

When are humans going to give up the stupid notion that life has ANY guarantees, and that science is NOT trying to be god??

Funny (sarcastic) about that hey Chuck? Or religion for that matter....

But hey lets see if we can't get $50 million out of these suckers (of which the Lawyers will get $6 million) for something that was beyond anyone's control or predictability. Angry
