I, in my self-righteous and self-centered attitude, find that  
"screed" quite appropriate. If, on the other hand, you found any  
specific problem or logical fallacy in Tom Jackson's argument, now  
would be a good time to point it out, yes?

USA's current administration has policies which affected New Orleans,  
but also, for example, research on current or future vaccines:

These policies have global effects, as the ongoing Kyoto debacle. As  
such, I've found Dave Farber's editorial policy very adequate. IP has  
been an outlet for people who don't command the power to voice their  
opinion elsewhere; and I've found the "bias" very informative.

I hope IP keeps going as strong as it has been, and I'd like to thank  
you Dave for your work moderating the list.

Regards,
Luis Bruno

intelligent design in any of this. This was survival of the richest."
