FW: Darwin Day petition

[dale mcinnes <wdm1949@hotmail.com>]

Haro. Some would say we need heroes. This is politics. It can be useful.
It's only human. But "heroes" or "authorities" have nothing whatsoever 
to do with science as you rightfully alluded to. Again. It's only use 
is political. And that petition, as I pointed out, is just bad politics. 
Glad to be of service in the humour department though.
