1. K&R.

[ooglymoogly]

2. Religion equals stupidity....

and has destroyed more civilizations and empires than any army.

[Lena inRI]

3. Goodness gracious. . .

. . .I've followed Professor Dawkins. . .heard him speak in San Diego, and this interview is, by far, one of his best. Makes me ask these questions:

1--Why hasn't his superior intelligence been used, as a consultant or policy maker, by ANY government LEADER so his truthful science can be APPLIED to our world problems. . .i.e. efficient shift from fossil to cleaner fuels?

2--Why won't ANY government elect representatives for the usual will of the people (not that this exists in our current corprotacracy) BUT hire intelligent scientists such as Professor Dawkins to devise SMART policy (as done in city-manager governments where council is elected but they hire a technician-city manager)?

What a waste of INTELLIGENCE to shelve Dawkins onto the lecture/book-promotion circuit.

What a joke our democratic election process is/has been when you know the choices are such stupid ass wipes without ANY SMART policy directions.

WE ARE DOOMED WITH THE YAHOOS AT THE HELM. . .

. . .the STUPID got us into the current mess, the STUPID won't get us out.

[Enthusiast]

4. Indeed. It appears that we are to become

overwhelmed by stupid which has reached the level of a crisis.

[izquierdista]

5. God created stupidity as a practical joke.

He sits up in heaven chortling at the foolishness down below. Especially at the ones who obsequiously snivel and grovel for things they want. Those that doubt his existence and can't see any rhyme or reason to religion -- those are the ones he will reward in the afterlife. Believers get recycled into turtle brains.
