Sean:
>Saying that science can be independent doesn't mean that ever instance
of science is.  Saying that we need to be careful about how we
understand the causal relationships here seems more apt than a blunt
instrument that simply and automatically blames any scientific or
technological gaffe of the past 200 years on the economic system
alone.  These are distinct cultural realms that are articulated in
particular ways.  You must describe this articulation and its history
rather than just presuming you can assume it.

Now we are just arguing from different levels of abstraction, we have
though, I think, come to some agreement on some of the issues.
