I would encourage MacCulloch to continue writing. If power groups don't like what he is writing, then they have a responsibility to respond. It does prove his case for narrow minded thinking. At the end of the day debate encourages new ideas to flow freely. Also, I would not put Peter Gluckman on your "naughty boys" list. He has always struck me as an honest advocate for science and its role in our country. Keep commenting, Robert MacCulloch, our society is better for your honesty. I'm reading Einstein's biography at the moment, and his best thinking came about when he was shunned by the establishment but his absolute commitment to non-conformity gave him room to break into whole new areas of thinking. He couldn't get a job, at least Robert has one!

I've followed MacCullogh's "Down to earth Kiwi" blog for years and one of its main values is that it presents a point of view outside the Wellington beltway. I miss it very much.
