Comment of the Week

This comment was delivered to me in person, face to face. "Tom, ice and snow, in the long run, are unnatural." I thought it about for a moment to make sure I had not misheard the young man. "So, are you saying that frozen water is unnatural, that it's always caused by man?" The young man did not seem drunk. He was drinking, but not yet drunk. He insisted that Antarctica being covered in ice and snow is not natural because "is wasnt' always" covered in ice and snow. (So I guess the Hawaii Islands are not natural, because the Pacific Ocean did not always have them. The Rocky Mountains were not always there, so he must think them unnatural, too.) Everything bad, you see, is the fault of Mankind. Don't you see that? WHICH REMINDS ME: Horror Stories’ of Scientific Suppression
