"A young man, using his metal detector for the first time, walked about seven steps from his car and got a signal."

My God, you have a knack for the perfect opening line, Minnesotastan.

If the Romans all completed such marathons, wouldn't they all have dropped dead like the fellow at Marathon?

If the Tutsis exceeded the world records, wouldn't THAT be the world record?

Weren't the earliest homininds nearly four foot tall? They can really beat Schwarzenegger at anything?

Anthropology must be one of those "take my word for it" sciences.

Just to clarify on my own part, Athon, I'm not calling these people above zealots because I have some bone of contention with the theory. It's a damn fine theory, and I studied it for years. It's because their own arguments for it don't go beyond "you're stupid not to believe it." There's nothing scientific about that method of argument, and they are demonstrating that the supposed religious nut-jobs might have already shown up while they were warning us about them.

If that was the case, Droplet, why don't the trees simply grow to rid themselves of the nuisance llamas? Do the short trees ever come back? Why would they?

A really good scientific theory is subjected to these kinds of criticisms. Otherwise you end up just another type of zealot like Skipweasel. Or you, for that matter. It's real because it must be real? That sounds very familiar.

Very eloquently put, Steohawk. It's all too clear that both the author and the subject have a chip on their shoulders. A black God? Well, whatever floats your ark.

The objective of the experiment isn't all that clear, anyway. Wasn't she introducing a bias into her own science experiment here? Is the observer supposed to do this?

Chefan, he also encouraged "many Vietnams" throughout the world. I think that's slightly more evil than amything Pinochet or Peron could muster.

Telling people to go do research on this or that subject is both lazy and a stall tactic. I'll be glad to debate you any day.

"My family and other families would get free gas for our cars; single people with no kids would have to pay. The money would come from copying other bills. The $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills would be copied one thousand times."

Oops! Sorry Weslie, but they stole your idea. This is one single guy getting screwed paying for this kid's education.

I'm siding with Adam. Wal-Mart is an international success story, and there are a lot of lessons to be learned from their success. They offer goods at low prices. Isn't that a help to the poor? Aren't there at least a few good points to having Wal-Marts?
