So, instead of critically thinking about what Bell is saying, and possibly trying to fix the problems he points out, they just get angry and insult Bell. That makes me angry. <br /><br />A personal creed of mine is "If your beliefs cannot stand up to a modicum of criticism, questioning, and/or doubt, then they aren't worth having." When a group of people becomes angry at another person or group respectfully questioning or criticizing their beliefs, that tells me the beliefs have a weak foundation.Sammyhttp://scientificuniversalist.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-15925410393969467732011-05-25T21:39:41.475-06:002011-05-25T21:39:41.475-06:00Don- We'll keep our fingers crossed! :)
