The Center for Inquiry is accepting disaster-relief donations through its S.H.A.R.E. program to support those providing care to the survivors of the 7.0 earthquake that struck Jan. 12 near the capital city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
All donations–100 percent with no operating costs retained–will be sent directly to the secular aid group Doctors Without Borders, which suffered the loss of all three of its medical facilities and is working against difficulties to provide the basics of first-aid care and stabilization.
The needs of those who’ve lost their family members, their homes, and their livelihoods will be very great. Your assistance will make a huge difference for the victims of this tragic disaster. Please join us and other humanists and skeptics as we help those in need in this time of crisis.

I’ll take your word for it. Money sent.
IMO – Greg Laden is an egocentric narcissist that does GREAT science that fits his narrow close-minded pre-supposed view of whatever his narrrow pre-supposed view is pre-supposed in his close-minded world, in order to make him feel better about himself and his pre-supposed close-minded views. BRILLIANT! Please help keep his ego fed. Send your money to Greg Bin Laden. Because an underfed giant confident perfect unchallenged ego is a terrible thing to see whither away without proper feeding.
Just my opinion. Which is factually shared by the silent majority who are intimidated and afraid. Of the truth.
And you, little wannabe, are so dependent on Greg’s approval that you can’t just go off and lick your wounds or be confident in your own opinion of whatever the two of you disagreed on. You have to obsessively hang around and read everything and spend your personal time to post your little screeds. You have to hope that you’re right about Greg being wrong and hope that you’re right about this silent majority being just as pathetic as you are when they could be off reading something they enjoy. And living their own lives.
I happen to think Greg was wrong when he said I was wrong. In particular since it was an opinion, which can be disagreed with, but not ‘wrong’.
But that’s pretty minor in comparison to the number of things I agree with Greg about, including the current need in Haiti.
There Greg, consider your ego semi-stroked.
You know what is so terribly amusing about your pathetic little tirade #2? I like Greg a lot and really look forward to finding the opportunity to meet him in person, with some other lovely MN’ans. And Greg likes me and probably looks forward to meeting me. Yet Greg and I have gotten into pretty intense arguments – pissed each other off even, in our disagreements. But we are able to get along because we have enough in common – enough that we are in fundamental agreement about, rather than fundamental disagreement about to make it work.

Opinions can actually be wrong – including some of Greg’s (mine on the other hand…), including some of yours and possibly some of mine. While it is sometimes possible for two people with seemingly contradictory opinions to both be correct, that is rarely the case excepting personal aesthetics. Usually there really is a wrong and right answer…
