Kevin, you missed the point.  The volcanic moon *was* an accepted
'scientific' theory at one point.  Untrue in light of today's knowledge
but nevertheless accepted at the time.

Don't you consider 2000 scientists living off of 250 million tax dollars a
year for the past 40 years at PPPL a welfare state?  They are not close to
breakeven in fusion research and suspect it will be at least another 40 or
50 years if then.  They are all WELFARE QUEENS IN WHITE COATS!  Get it?
