Professional investigator concludes - "what's the fuss about?"

[787steve]

Much though I've always like Clarke, this thread reminds me more of Isaac Asimov's quote:

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

Too bad they only have a like button. I would have been all over the love it button!
