by Mike Van DamGovernment for the people and by the people. Nice words and yet our worship of success in terms of financial success has yielded us a process that is in fact for the financial interests by the financial interests. I think we can all take some responsibility in this. When I was in high school and actually decided to go to school to learn. The overwhelming majority of the strait

by Mike Van DamReligion is a social organization and scientific organizations are the same. The struggle between the two is between social organizations.
