    Proper post-event outrage.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          The bloke is vile. A TV presenter with a track record of saying things that upset some of the people here. I don't think that this picture of him is that recent either.



          It does highlight that this country is about where the UK was about twenty years ago regarding what is acceptable to say about other people. You don't see it much in people younger than thirty, but the racism and homophobia that comes out of people older than that is really an eye-opener. Of course they just complain about PC Bulltulip.

          Some people here are more concerned about the fact that the Governor General has now delivered a fawning apology to the people of India.

              My mistake. I meant 30 years ago.
