I would go with lazy more than ignorant, even though ignorant may be technically accurate, I tend to think that it is so easy to find so much information nowadays, that ignorance on a subject is often due to laziness (or apathy, depending on the subject). I agree that, in most cases he cites, stupid does not apply. > Have you seen Religulous? Yes, but I do not remember very much. At the moment, I can only remember 3 scenes. One where he questions a guy whose job is to teach gay people to marry someone of the opposite sex. Another one was a trailer church. And the most memorable one was inside a mosque, simply because I was surprised to see wall-to-wall carpet (I guess I am used to seeing Christian cathedrals with no carpet) _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
