Re: [Phys-l] The Perils of American Stupidity

I repeat: this
country has seen anti-intellectual eras before, but it remains to be
seen what will become of any progress we have made on fronts such as gay
rights, stem-cell research, teaching of evolution, and others.


For an interesting related read: This book was originally written in the early 1960's I believe; It's a 1964 pulitzer prize winner in non-fiction category
