Re: [applekeynote] TED and Keynote

It’s OK Les, there’s a bunch of us who are not afraid of science, still think that the earth is not the center of the universe, and that gravity exists (even though technically gravity is still only a theory by the language of science in the same way that evolution is a theory).

We’ve had 8 years of ideology over science and see where that’s got us. I’m for moving on.
