I'm from Missouri

This site is named for the famous statement of US Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver from Missouri : "I`m from Missouri -- you'll have to show me." This site is dedicated to skepticism of official dogma in all subjects. Just-so stories are not accepted here. This is a site where controversial subjects such as evolution theory and the Holocaust may be freely debated.

I was able to listen to some of the testimony live! I heard some good testimonies in favor of strengths and weakness. I missed the opposing views but oh well...I seen plenty of it in writing...; Thursday, January 22, 2009 12:25:00 AM

Also, if you have broadband, you can go to the meetings' archived audio files after they are posted here.

With my dial-up modem connection, I am unable to listen to the archived audio files continuously.

Also, you might want to check out the above websites that live-blogged the Wednesday meeting.

As I said, I prefer "strengths and criticisms" to "strengths and weaknesses."; Thursday, January 22, 2009 12:44:00 AM
