It’s not primarily about the oil; it’s much more about the military-industrial complex, the label employed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower 45 years ago when he warned of the dangers of “a permanent arms industry of vast proportions.”

Nobel Intent:
After watching the videos from the lecture series Bebe was pathetic and focused on the judge and plaintiff's attorney instead of presenting a compelling argument for his opinion. He implies that it couldn't be his theory that's flawed, it must be the judge or some conspiracy.

Ike was even more right than he thought. In a letter to his brother, Ike warned about Texas oilman, H.L. Hunt (the father of recently deceased Lamar Hunt). The Big Oil/Defense/Big Gov't Iron Triangle we've got today started in large part with H.L. Hunt.

Sorry if I keep bringing up Ken Miller at this blog.
Of all the proponents of evolution, his research, findings and arguments are the easiest to to understand while not being dismissive of religion as he is a Christian who siad that his faith does not conflict with his sense of science.
He has a balance to things that I feel that Dawkins lack, although I know that Dawkins is performing an important task by bringing to the public eye the conflicts inherent in science and religion.
