Is it just me, or is our society/culture becoming less scientifically literate?
I don't know, I'd have to see some data.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

At the trick or treating event I took the kids too this weekend, I parked my little Honda between two massive pickups. Both pickups had an 'Don't blame me, I voted for the American' bumper stickers. Only one of them had the 'Vote Republican: Because not everyone can be on welfare' bumper sticker.

These people were always there, it's just that they were blinvisible before there were internets.
Sure, they were always there, but I think that there are more of them now.
I just think the internet makes it easier for the scientifically illiterate to compete for bandwidth.
And it makes scientifically illiterate ideas more accessible to people who want "proof" of what they want to believe.

Gud, you should have congratulated them on their vote for Ron Paul.

Someone in the Saudi Royal family loves me
He wanted to put them on giant gas guzzlers when he saw them.

Seriously, I do blame it on inadequate science education over the past several generations.
The good news is that as a society we've become better at Questioning Authority. The bad news is that we don't authoritatively question those who Question Authority, which is the next step.

Oh, great glowing orb in the sky, why have you forsaken me?
Didn't you move to the Pacific Northwest? I'd say you did the foraking.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am so sick of being expensively shaped.
I've had good luck at Marshalls and TJ Maxx on occasion. Last time I just did Nordie's, to the tune of $176. OUCH.
but god help your ass if you fart around Loki.
Bwahahaha!
It's easier to have schadenfreude when you don't know the schadenee personally.
So true.
I want to take the week off to prepare for Halloween. Is that wrong?
