Remember the first rule of debating: Your goal is not to

The DJ seems to understand this. He is not addressing you but
is directly addressing the audience when he tells them to
"ignore the fool."



So, did you have this debate w/ the dj "on air" or by e-mail? If not on air, get there; challenge him to a debate on air, or if you don't have much debating experience, find a pro. who also is "science oriented". Prep. him. and go for it.


bc reminded of Darwin's bulldog.


BTW, why are you (SD) listening to this station? [Not that listening to the "enemy" isn't a very good thing.]
