[Vision2020] Towing the what?

[Tony]

And thank you, Ralph.  I was aware of your intent in posting your English 
lesson offlist - however, rest assured that I am not so easily embarrassed 
as to be preoccupied by an inadvertent spelling error.  I would rather 
advocate for what is just and compassionate with an occasional mistake, than 
to support horrendous policies flawlessly.  While I acknowledge to you that 
one's form is important when attempting to persuade, I would also suggest to 
you that perhaps you might consider substance as well as form.  After all, 
Hitler was tremendously persuasive and well spoken.

I am curious as to your position with regard to the question under 
discussion: the politicization of scientific research.  Did you have an 
opinion on that subject or do you still wish to focus on my spelling as a 
means to avoid the question?

-Tony
