What such laws WILL DO is seriously damage America’s technical-product leadership in world markets. ALL physical materials-processing involves chemistry.

Rabinow’s Law VIII states that “Things that are done illegally are done most efficiently” So if kids do science illegally then they will do it well.

Rabinow formulated a number of laws on invention possibly the best known is “To promote inventions (or any art form) just love inventions (or the art form).”

If kids are told they cant do science then perhaps we will have better science. Education has failed why not try something else?

I had a thought this morning – in early printings of Farnham’s Freehold by Heinlein, he described in detail how to make nitroglycerin. Does anyone know if that’s passage has been removed in recent printings?

Teacher walked over to a lab table, and poured the contents onto the puddle stopping the fumes. “What Johnny just demonstrated was the acid reacting to the base in the concrete. Adding more base material will stop that chemical reaction.”

All just as cool as a cucumber. That was a pretty exciting day in school that I guess kids wont get anymore. Maybe exercising with how to put on a condum would come pretty close though.

#26…TheGlobalWarmer……Look, I’m not going to apologise anymore for voting for Bush in my very first election….so stop with the no vote until 30 talk.

This heinous act and disregard for student health needs to be criminalize.

There is a very real risk that vomited hydrochloric acid, or stomach acid and formaldehyde mixing and forming a known carcinogen
chloromethoxychloromethane. This is especially possible during fetal pig dissection in lab, because of the noxious formaldehyde fumes and the horrid sight of a dissected specimen.

This is why Leonardo da Vinci’s dissection was condemned by the church. The church was all wise and knew this. Bush and his Bushie cronies are only illuminating us to the wisdom of old.

Again hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a source of Chlorine gas. Exposure to the gas irritates mucous membranes of the eyes and respiratory tract. Concentrations over 35 ppm cause irritation of the throat after short exposure; >100 ppm results in pulmonary edema, and often laryngeal spasm. It may also causes other evils like acid rain downwind. HCl is extremely soluble in condensing water droplets and it is a very “strong acid” (it dissociates extensively to give H+ ions in the droplets).

Stop this evil NOW. BAN ALL BIOLOGY, BAN ALL CHEMISTRY. If God wants us to know the Priestly truths. All other truths should be banned.

We are failing in our IRAQ Crusade because of our over reliance on Science. This country needs to return to the days of the Inquisition. I nominate Karl Rove as the Grand Inquisitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only then can our IRAQ Crusade be successful. be successful.

We built real bombs out of common drugstore stuff. Then there was our lead “professor” who managed to make something that didn’t require a fuse to ignite and he messed himself up a little. Kids.

As another cantankerous old coot, it almost (but not quite) makes sense. Sespecailly #27, if only old people vote, no need for a law. #26 Aren’t we all really just a bunch of clueless yahoos?

Voluntary human extinction is the way to go.

So no vote for 18 year olds, no line of succession, no vote for DC in presidential elections, and congress’ pay raises take effect right away rather than after the next election.
