Nah... You don't really think I could write something like, "There is no hope for this world with academic egghead physics, which amounts to intellectual masturbation, self gratification, and peer ego stroking.... Only endless wars, pollution, environmental destruction and great expense for energy, which could be produced practically without cost!" Pretty extreme, I'd say. After all, there is always a practical cost, and what about ... "Religious hypocrites, like Bush, Rice and Ashcroft have hijacked our country. They claim they own the values and morality of our country. These fools are an abomination to the memory of Paine, who... created a Republic, which protected the rights of each and every individual. A democracy protects only the rights of the members of the dominant mob." [Give me a break, what did Condie do wrong... except maybe tow-the-company-line a little too intelligently for her critics (and get her 'do' at Donald Trump's hair-dresser)? ...and, just out of curiosity, why leave out the mastermind of the whole thing ABC axis-of-evil thing, anyway?] "The dominant mob right now is a lot of weirdo religious dopes, who believe in fairytale mythologies as if they were real historical truths. They support the president because he claims he has been "born again"... etc, etc, ad nauseum. Whew... way too extreme for this "born again" (can anyone ever reach noetic maturity without the equivalent experience ?), testifying to the fact that Buddha, Allah, Torah and Jesus can get along just fine without either Dem/wits or Repugs running the show... At least cynics like myself will try to give equal-opportunity criticism to both sides of every political issue, and I heard no mention of specially-flavored cigars, etc... .... Plus, there are not nearly enough spelling errors for me to have been involved. Not to mention, all former mythologies which pass the "test of time" ARE historical truths, but do we really want to get into epistemology today ... Jones
