FYI, and very well stated... Subject: letter submitted to NY Times To the Editor: Olivia Judson's article ("Evolution Is in the Air", Op-Ed page, Nov. 6, 2005) posited that avian flu could be what what proves Darwin's theory, but I fear that much of the country will require a stronger wake up call to face their hypocrisy. More than half the US ignores the science they count on everyday, from the high tech weapons they rely on to protect us to the quantum effects which power their beloved DVD players, but this same populace is all too willing to bite the hand of those "elite" scientists that bring them life-saving marvels. I don't believe that things will change in America until the half that gives itself a free pass faces its hypocrisy. It is time to challenge conservatives to stand up to their convictions: Those who deny evolution and global warming should be encouraged to forego scarce flu vaccine and leave the fruits of science to its supporters. Maybe then we can begin the dialogue which is sorely needed in this country.
