Perusing it now; heh.

Because for some reason 'people' are being taught that their unqualifed 
 

reasoning is equal to that of qualified reasoning; that their opinion  

matters on every subject regardless of their knowledge (or lack thereof)
  

of it.

Hell yeah, I'm betting all the negative comments are from Jocks (not you
  

Stephen) who used to shut up Geeks in their lockers and are now petrifie
d  

that they're going to be zapped with Ray-Guns.

Oh I don't know have you conducted a full H&S assessment on the results 
of  

banging two stones together? It could create a spark that sets the entir
e  

atmosphere aflame; think we'd better return to the Mud Age instead.
