  1. I'd like to think so. It is always disconcerting when some strange ideas find adherents;
    neo-nazis, holocaust deniers, etc.
    I worry a bit about the anti-vaccine movement and Dr. Oz selling snake oil, but overall, yeah, it keeps us all interested.
    (I'm reading a study of the two
    groups arguing about Richard III
    in England, one considering him practically a saint, the other thinking him the devil incarnate.)

  3. On Idaho college campuses, a tiny but vociferous minority, supported by NRA clout has overcome the vast majority of
    students, citizens and faculty to
    permit the carrying of concealed weapons. Handy in intro to polysci and astrophysics labs,
    I guess. (all sides were NOT
    heard from)

  4. Will: Whatever it is, you won't get it if any sort of "Fairness Doctrine" comes back, that's for sure.

    It's not free/uncensored if it has to get "government thinks it is fair" approval.
