Ben:
Truer words were never spoken.
I, too, am getting tired of all the idiotic crap that's being spouted
here and elsewhere in total denial of the most important discovery
of the 20th century.
You'd think, Ben, that, by now, your colleagues would've come to
their senses -- as, thank goodness, you have -- and concede that man,
in almost his present form (but perhaps 20 percent larger), had indeed
existed way, way back while coal was being formed.
Meanwhile, I'd like to commend your intestinal fortitude in calling
their rantings ``crap."
Personally, I think you could've been more diplomatic, considering
your present stature at U. of C./Berkeley and obviously your vested
interests.
But, then again, I can understand and appreciate why you've taken such
a hard stance. In our past dealings, it was obvious to me that you
undoubtedly are the type of person who likes to call a spade a spade.
