STRANGE THAT YOU ESPOUSE DEMOCRACY, WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ONE AND CENSOR DISSIDENTS, YOU TWATS

That thread just has to be self parody. Any other explanation is inconceivable.

I think I like Ekstasis a lot.

Perhaps the Materialist scientists are not interested in ascribing to democratic principles.


Materials scientists?

How so? For starters, they limit entry to only those individuals they deem “worthy” according to their own standards.

I say, lower the standards. If you can tie your shoes, even if they are velcro, you too can be an ID scientist. Maybe even an ID materials scientist.

Yep, an island of non-democracy in a sea of democracy. Is it time to submerge?

Good idea. UD should submerge. When all the materials scientists have been vanquished, then UD can re-emerge victorious on the internets. I guess we'll all be using the same computers since there won't be any materials scientists around to design smaller transistors.

Who gets to decide what is and isn’t taught? My feeling is that local school boards ought to be able to choose the curricula.

They can and do, except when there is a little thing called the Establishment Clause to get in their way. You 'member that? Them thar foundin fathers and thar durn democratic revolution? 'member?

To disallow establishment of religion in a public school is democratic. But, of course, none of this applies to ID, except in Judge Jone's zany opinion.
