Yesterday I saw a bumper sticker that read:

If that sentiment is widespread, and I fear that my google search
confirms that it is actually preached in some fundamentalist circles,
then we have far worse things to fear and combat than mere elimination
of the teaching of evolution.
r n:
I have applied the same principle to people studying electric circuits.
Confounding current with voltage, or high-pass with bandpass filters will
get you exactly nowhere in my lecture.
Moving sideways, my hometown Jacksonville is the murder capitol of Florida
... lots of tolerance for thugs. We butcher our young men 5-6-7 a week and
not a whisper cause local virtue says ...don't ask, don't tell...
Now, what is this tolerance you speak of?
I don't understand the connection to whether the transfer function of
a circuit contains zeroes at both zero and infinity or only at zero.
The tolerance whereof I speak does not involve the acceptance of
people who do evil. Rather it is the acceptance of people who some
suspect of being capable of evil merely because they look or talk or
think differently.
