- With limited time, I understand and respect peoples need to do
- what they consider real and worthwhile. What I feel rather
- strongly about is someones need to laugh at what they know
- little about and do not care to look at. I do not know about
- Fulton or Rube Goldberg, so please enlighten me. My current
- interpretation of Henry Spencers comment is that he finds it OK
- to laugh at Fulton because Rube Goldberg was wrong. I find that
- kind of attitude very saddening, more so when it comes from one
- interested in science and even more so if the person happens to
- be a scientist. Such a person may be useful in science, but it
- is not likely he will do anything outrageous for his time. He
- will not invent the telephone, build an airplane, ask the
- doctors to wash their hands after touching a corpse or (read my
- lips) find a cure for AIDS.
