-clip- So science isn't "vitally necessary" for doing away with<BR>
race.<BR>
<BR>
Granted, in our society, science is an effective basis for<BR>
legitimate authority and, to put it bluntly, propaganda. People in<BR>
our society are impressed by "scientists have reported" arguments.<BR>

effective rhetorical tool to undermine race. However, the<BR>
science is not a necessary tool.<BR>

CB: Yes, but, but for the scientific refutations, how would we know that race is an invalid biological concept ?</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
