Bacon Versus Bohm

Dave Bacon explains why he is not a Bohmist. While I doubt it will turn out to be a correct interpretation of quantum mechanics, I think the Bohm interpretation deserves to be better known, since its existence contradicts a certain amount of conventional wisdom on the meaning of quantum mechanics.

I had no idea that David Bohm himself was driven out of the country by McCarthyism.
