Third Post

I’m sitting in my first class of the semester — called, simply, Conspiracy — right now, listening to the instructor, William Henry Anderson, MD (a medical doctor teaching a class on conspiracy — interesting). He reminds me of my friend Laz’s father, Richard Thompson, in that he speaks in a very measured tone, and seems to think a great deal about what he’s about to say before it comes out.

He is now speaking about global warming, and how those who claim that science is on their side should always be questioned. Naturally, I myself am convinced that the evidence for global warming — which of course comes from those with science on their side — is strong. But when Dr. Anderson speaks in that cadence that I can already tell will be characteristic of his lectures…I feel compelled to re-examine.
