List,

"Science" is a dead horse! Has anyone woke up to realize we have passed the
age of science...the age of technology...the age of mechanics...the age of
art...the age of philosophy...the age of industry...are now in the age of
"spirituality" and moving toward the age of recreation (in that order, I
think)? All of these "ways of knowing" (technology, deconstruction, art,
imagination, control, standards, and creativity) surpass science and can
take over--has taken over--the maintanence of life expectancy without the
inherent failures of science (to provide for community and property needs).

Science is to a 4 year old what ethics are to an adult...just another way to
decide what is "right" and what is "wrong".
