What a fascinating statement... "I don't know anything about it, I don't
understand it, but I think it's bunk."  Gee, we are putting on the
thinking caps today, aren't we?

Sounds like you're one of those militia types:  "The government did it,
so it must be bad."  Or one of those religious types:  "The scientists
said it, so it must be bad."  Or one of those AOL-types:  "I don't
understand, so it must be bad."  <g>

The wonderful thing about the theory of relativity is that it is so
incredibly intuitive and easy to understand, once you put a tiny bit of
effort into it.  Check out that article I posted about earlier on
http://www.washingtonpost.com/!
