You expose' on the predominance of scientists who believe in spoon
bending has me convinced. The power to make policy should, of course,
rest with our honest, elected, statesmen in Washington or our
spirituals leaders. Furthermore, we should start doing this more
efficiently be removing needless obstacles like the ACLU and the rogue
news organizations and misguided universities. One thing that would
help is to establish a big-brother board or perhaps a board of bishops
to revue scientific findings that could have policy implications
before publication.

What we really need is a preemptive strike against all wrong-thinking
scientists. I'm sure we could find adequate justification to do this.
All we need to do is get the CIA working on it and tell them, in
advance, what we want them to find.
