Greetings From Idiot America

Here's an article from two years ago that is MORE relevant today than when it was written.. It's attracted HUNDREDS of comments at digg. Long, and well worth the read. I read it criticially -- expecting I would take issues with many of its assumptions and examples -- but I find he is totally within bounds each point. This, fortunately, is not an example of historical revisionISM which I see floating around the Iway today. I find the crap all over progressive sites, too, as they stick to NAMES to figure things out rather than look squarely at what is being presented. People truly need to find a way to hang onto both their minds and their hearts, only then can there be room for vision, creativity, talent, social justice and all things that make man a wonderful creation. Have the "odds" come down against that as people DUMB DOWN?- V* * *Creationism. Intelligent Design. Faith-based this. Trust-your-gut that. There's never been a better time to espouse, profit from, and believe in utter, unadulterated crap. And the crap is rising so high, it's getting dangerous.
