I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I would not credit science 
with any achievements.  Science has brought many benefits.  But, for 
instance, you have to recognize that most of the improvements to health 
have come from improved sanitation, living conditions, and diet, and not 
from medical science, as doctors would have us believe.  Lifestyle and 
enviroment play a more important role in health, and although I would 
agree that science has an important role to play in these areas, it is 
not as important as social justice, equality, or compassion.  Ask any 
midwife, any activist, or any social worker broadminded enough to 
acknowledge the importance of structuralism.
