Stet/Delosgatos,
Better, but TRY to tone down the condescension……(I’ll try also. I don’t think that we would be speaking to each other this way if we were face to face in a business meeting). The Internet sometimes leads to informality due to anonymity (which I also have been guilty of).
Sort of busy today…..not a dodge, just other pressing issues……..
Stet,
One quick comment:
Suggesting policy decisions based on science is some sort of taboo best left to non-scientists doesn’t seem quite right. I’m not a 4 Star General or International Diplomat but I definitely have opinions regarding the “War on Terrorism”. I’m certain that every person reading this post would have an opinion on that topic. Following your line of reasoning, the United States should take the exact advice of Petraeous and the Joint Chiefs, (or George W. Bush) without question. What you are asking is to follow blindly, without question.
I DO NOT WANT TO GET OFF TOPIC. I AM SIMPLY MAKING AN ANOLOGY AND COULDN”T THINK OF A BETTER EXAMPLE.
I’m not shouting, I’m just trying to emphasize my point.
