Next thing we know it will be Golem and the Evil Wall which crept up and slipped away with all those WMDs.
Note to fellow Americans on this board - keep those eyes opened wide. Roughly one in five Americans believe in this hocum. And they vote. Dubya didn't happen in a vacuum. Onward Christian soldiers.
And to my fellow Europeans on the board, you really have to see it to believe it. It suffices to spend a day in your car driving through, say, Texas or Oklahoma or Kansas listening to your car radio and flipping the dial every so often. Truly, wonders never cease the creativity of the ignorant human mind.
Though in fairness, I noted the same creativity while a student back in the late 1980's in Peshawar, Pakistan. And, as in certain parts of the US, one keeps one's incredulity to one's self in public.
It's good that this comes out now, as it should serve, by dribs and drabs, to undermine Sarko and his rapprochement with the Americans. I confess to taking a perverse glee in this in much the same way I am enjoying Villepin's very public defence of himself. Nil aon leigheas ar an ngra ach posadh
I've seen: I was driving from Boston to Nevada, when somewhere in rural Illinois or Wisconsin we stopped for gas and some snacks. I got some crackers, a bottle of water, etc. At the cashier it rang up to $6.66. The woman behind the counter gets really pale, looks at me, then at the display again, and whispers quietly: "I'm not gonna say it". I payed and got out rather quickly. Fun times with fundies!
Religion is one thing, superstition another. I am Southern US born and raised, and a practicing Christian, but modern day prophets are either crazier then loons or there is a profit motive (pun intended) and that goes double for anyone that uses Biblical prophecy as an excuse for war. As I often say, God doesn't need me or anyone else to defend his existence or fight his battles. I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell. _ Blood Sweat & Tears
Around the time we hit Wyoming we found NPR which was somewhat of a relief. The urge of "We've gone through a time-warp" was really getting to me.
This was 2002. I wonder how it is now.
3.) Talk radio with callers about the benefits of home schooling and the evilness that is Harry Potter.
It's funny how home schooling brought us Eragon ... -----sapere aude
