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.?????????
