Re: [seul-edu] Re: OT: all about global warming

[William Abernathy <william@inch.com>]

All: This list is about simplifying Linux and other open source software for use 
in schools. It is not a forum for debating the content of curricula, except as 
such debate pertains to open source/free software or the open development method.

If you believe there might be something to this global warming thing and want to 
help out Mike or use his program, do so. If you think global warming is a Commie 
plot, then don't help Mike, don't use his software, and maybe you should build 
something equivalent to share your side of the story with other teachers and 
students. Heck, you might even want to repurpose Mike's software to that end, 
since if it's open source or free, he can't say no.

In the meantime, if you guys want to debate the rigor of the global warming 
theory, go right ahead, but do so amongst yourselves and not in my mailbox.
