I don't find that uncomfortable at all. Actually, I find it quite satisfying.

There would be many ways to verify what the person claimed other than seeing it. Science frequently (perhaps even usually) deals with things that can't be seen (but can be measured). I really can't comment on the rest of your post, it sounds like typical "politically correct" nonsense. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
