Gack! Ozone-hole-ism again already?

Ozone is the RESULT of UV being "blocked" by O2. A UV photon dissociates an
O2 molecule into two O atoms, which grab onto the nearest molecule, like
O2, which PRODUCES O3.

O3 isn't what "blocks UV" - O3 is the result of the UV being blocked by
plain ol' ordinary everyday oxygen.

But the teaching of actual science, or practically any facts at all,
went out the window when the unions took over the schools and turned
them into propaganda mills that teach nothing but "Self-Esteem" -
"Duh, I dunno how to add two and two, but I feel real good about myself,
yup, yup, yup, yup!"

Thanks,

Let me guess. You were the product of those pubic schools, weren't you?
If that's the case, you're claiming that when you went public school was
great, look at you for an example. But now they're crap. I have to tell
you anyone hearing a claim like that thinks you're full of it.
