Not a whole lot can be done with wacko charlatans, other than ignoring them and hoping for the best. It’s a tent-show. Something you’d find along the midway of a wandering Chautauqua, designed to sensationalize a non-entity subject, purely for profit. Upon occasion, a mighty hero of reason must be brought forth to stand our ground for us. In this example, it just happens to be the mighty Bill Nye, the Science Guy. Do not look upon his attempts as a failure in any way, for he stands as our right hand. The failure would have to be the event’s limited coverage. The more kids we can get to realize who the true fringe knut-cases are, the fewer develop into them.
