my point is nowhere near as juvenile and base as your statement.
Why, in this day and age, in a nation supposedly at or near the technological forefront of science and research and technology, do we, the people, allow such pandering ignorant cynical bastards to run for public office without calling them on their BULLSHIT?
Fully 1/2 of all americans (supposedly) believe that the earth was created 10,000 years ago. supposedly, more than half do not know that it takes a year for the earth to travel around the sun.
OUr civic leaders, (no matter what you think of politicians and politics in general, they are civic leaders) should guide the ignorant populace to informatio and reason, not pander to their base ignorance by pretending to be down with their pseudo religious stupidity.
This woorld is going to pot and it is all because of religion. religion teaches that ignorance is bliss, that knowledge is unattainable, that life is pointless because the "true" existance occurs after death.
Fuck I hate this shit.
