Jabberwocky – some nonsense posting

I had to run to the doctor today to pick up some scrips and samples. Naturally – well, unexpectedly, I came home and slept for a few hours.

Today’s words of wisdom, otherwise known as nonsense and bother, will have to wait until tomorrow.

For tonight, let us note the anniversary of the end of the Scopes trial in 1925, and marvel at how far we have come in teaching science in this country since then.

And in 1899 Ernest Hemingway was born. Six toed cats the world over celebrate this day with parties.

I trust the comment about science education in this country has your usual sarcastic edge to it.

Suggested reading:
What is Good? By A. C. Grayling

Among the topics are why science makes for a better life than religion does.

Yes, I was operating in sarcasm mode there. Thanks for the book recommendation.
