Political arguments are not true or false, they just are.

It's working. They Creationists have framed the debate in such
a way that the debate can be had. That's a coup.

Fine, fine.
I'm not arguing in favor of Intelligent Design, I'm saying that
it's benign.
My point was, that the 'democratization' of information is a
process that is already alive and well, does not require Web 2.0.
The argument that democracy is nothing more than mob-rule is
old, tired. Enhancing the process of 'democratization' will only
make that argument older, ever more tired.
