Sience in understanding
When I was a kid, and still do to this day, I looked up to educated
people. Maybe it was because no one in my family ever got the chance to attend school past the twelfth grade or the fact that my grandmother convinced me that college was mandatory,...whatever the motivation, I always stayed on that path. I thought of becoming Dr. Jonas Salk (poliomyelitis vaccinations were just being produced for the first time), was motivated trying to understand why my cousin had cerebral palsy and his heroic struggle with it, and was deeply interested in all things scientific. Not a single time, not even for an instant, has the scientific method and the rigors of that roof ever let me down. Whenever I try to explain the Sartin Methodology to people I take a lot of kidding, until, that is, one of the "kidders" watches the results of a day of following the races this way, and then they are all questions as to how it works. Maybe the internet is exposing a whole new area of people to me, but I sense a shocking trend in the abandonment of logic and science to ideological malarkey: Substituting proven methods of scientific evaluation with voodoo and Middle Aged type mythology. That trend is growing........IT is frightening. |

Hmmm, given enough smoke, some distributions of it would look like a bird?
Being a photographer of over 30 years, I have seen many like that Photo does not appear to have anything to do with what was stated.????????? Last edited by Tim Y; 11-13-2008 at 06:29 PM. |
