Releasers - Anne Kilmer couldn't possibly be more wrong!

[Lili Pintea-Reed]

The problem with the "absence of proof" argument is that it creates a false
syllogism -- a specious agument using the technique of logic. In the past
these people were called Sophosists. Now we call them political speech
writers.

The argument about which branch of science is "better" in another case where
some people confuse "technique" -- The Scientific Method" --with Science.
Scientist are people who use the scientific method. Physical science has no
hold on the use of this method of analysis.

I'm a psychologist and have given lots of IQ tests... No one profession
holds a grip on the high IQ banner. Actually when Weschler, the man who
produced the most commonly used IQ test did studies on professions and IQ he
found that USA Postal Employees were one of the group with the highest over
all IQs.. (High pay -- not too much work)

So I guess we all have a fall back profession.

As for releases I think we should have Releasing and Stocking programs to
replace all the butterflies and other pollinators lost to spray programs,
and gentically engineered BT programs..
Best,
Lil
