"Dear Dr. Raff. I'm writing a research paper on the role of membrane receptors in the information transfer of the cell, and have decided to remove all references to teleology. Can you help me come up with appropriate alternatives to the following terms?

Information
Signal molecule
Receptor
Circuit
Molecular switch

Sincerely,

"Dear Sir. We're taking cell biology at the University of …, and our textbook keeps talking about "molecular machines". Should we just use a black marker to remove every usage of the phrase, or should we try finding another textbook that uses "assembly of molecules" instead?

Thanks in advance,
…"

Wouldn't it be great if all the leaders in the scientific community got together and agreed that starting in 2006, editors across the board would prohibit the use of teleological concepts and language in their journals?

I'd like to know who gave this clown the right to presume that he can make assumptions that essentially pronounce that the copernican cosmological principle over-rules the anthropic cosmological principle, even though that isn't what the evidence suggests.

I'd like to know what he REALLY knows about the cosmological physics that determines these kinds of things… besides… not much.

In which case, I'd like to know who the hell he thinks he is to presume that he's even on the side of science.

Which is about par for the political course.
