Well said Rich, JC Dr. Jagath C. Ekanayake BSc (Eng Hon), PhD MIPENZ, ASCE Scientist, Landcare Research P.Box 69, Gerald street Lincoln , 8152 New zealand Ph +64 3 325 6701 Ext 2210 Fx+64 3 325 2418 >>> rgrazia1@rochester.rr.com 8/10/2004 11:52:32 a.m. >>> Russell has never imposed his views on anyone or stated them without courtesy. I cannot say that I have ever known a more fair-minded, highly intelligent, well informed respectful person than Russell. He is one of those rare people that command respect by their high integrity. It is unlikely that Russell's views could be rubbish. Censoring Russell is like throwing out the encyclopedia.
