Tyson gave in to his need to troll.
Really, he just used his bully pulpit to troll people he dislikes. It made him look stupid, because while he's a physicist and not a historian, someone as educated as he is is expected to know about things like the old style calendar dates. He also shouldn't act like a real-life version of Sheldon Cooper, and be taken aback by common human responses. Pointing out his own earlier, even more shockingly naive comments like "which assault rifle would Jesus choose" just establishes his pattern of insolence.

So (aside from being anonymous, so you don't have to stand by what you say), you must then believe firmly that 'counteractive' discrimination is better than no discrimination?
Please let me know the quantitative metric at which we decide that 'counteractive' discrimination has reached a point of overcorrection at which we can then apply counter-counteractive discrimination? Because discrimination is apparently what we want to keep doing, as long as it's the "right" discrimination?

...for their terrific job and a wonderful tree display.
And kudos also to the admins with the balls to tell the administration and Google to fuck off with their politically-correct bullshit.
What's the value of an asshole that spends his evening judging the value of others he has never met?
You mean, like you're doing right now? Good question.
