Re: [OPE] Marx and Darwin: A Myth Exposed

dlaibman@scienceandsociety.com

Hey, I'm glad to have one of my old myths debunked.  But it says 
something, doesn't it, that a group calling itself "Friends of Charles 
Darwin" would be anxious to bust this particular myth!  From my point of 
view, any *true* friend of Darwin would be sorry to see it go!
   In solidarity,
      David
