Talk:Best of the public (view source)
Revision as of 22:25, December 20, 2009
, 22:25, December 20, 2009→Galileo: Galileo, the Father of Modern Science
:::::::::...but haven't you just answered your own question, Frank? If expertise was the be-all and end-all of justice, then there would be no need for a jury; the matter would be entirely in the hands of the judge and the attorneys. However, the Founding Fathers, while respecting the expertise of such individuals, ultimately chose to trust in the wisdom of the public to render a verdict. Would you argue that their choice was unwise? I think our system of justice has worked out pretty well, personally. --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 17:19, 20 December 2009 (EST)

Just going back to the start of this section, "Galileo's ... own contributions were not substantial". You're joking, Andy, aren't you? Please tell me you're joking... [[User:JosephMac|JosephMac]] 17:25, 20 December 2009 (EST)
