They went nowhere. I do get a kick out of the loonies' posts, when I have time. BURT starts with a couple of completely wacky assumptions, uses bad logic, and comes to ludicrous conclusions. Herc does similarly, but with wildly different results. Every once in a while, we get turds of wizdumb from the Insane Lying Nazi or his somewhat loony fan. That abusive loony with the life- after-death obsession floods the ng from time to time, but he's a broken record. Maybe we should give up, and hope someone else discovers rom and brings it back to life. > Usenet just isn't what it used to be.

However, some of it is leftover from the failures of the Clinton (and even the Carter) regimes, so let's not paint with too broad a brush. > BTW, a year after Glenn Beck dissed Hayek's book The Road to Serfdom, > he devoted a full ptogram to the book and recommended people read it. > > That was probably on Tuesday.

I wonder how many of the buyers actually read it. I recommend Donald Knuth and Sergei Lukyanenko. Do you think their Amazon ratings will rise, based on the rom readers who see my post and can't help buying their books to see what all the buzz is about? I hope so.

BURT starts with a couple of > completely wacky assumptions, uses bad logic, a Science is young and if you look at its short history it is full of mistakes. It has never gotten out of that. I say that modern extrapolation science needs to be corrected by a creative science because it has nearly everything wrong. Extrapolation doesn't require work but creativity does. Mitch Raemsch |
