No he doesn't. There's no marketplace for ideas in Galileo's time in
*Italy* (or anywhere under the sway of the Counterreformation). There was a
pretty good marketplace for ideas going in Holland, England, and Denmark.

I wouldn't mind so much that people don't remember history and so are
condemned to repeat it, if it didn't mean that the rest of us are condemned
to repeat it with them...
