Alternative Theories

I don’t actually enjoy criticizing the American right, nor do I go out of my way to do so. They just don’t value anything that I value - such as science.

For people who follow science, like I do, in an “artsy” way, in America, and only America, there is a “debate” whether “Intelligent Design” should be taught in science class along side evolution.  I think this debate ended in most other First World countries back when Kaisers and Czars were ruling.

I am always open to alternative theories – but if a school board is to allow “Intelligent Design” should it not also provide an alternate theory for human reproduction? I recall a theory espoused in 1970s commercials for pickles that The Stork delivers babies – should that board not also teach the “Avian Express” theory of human reproduction???

How come in America Pat Robertson gets on CNN – in Canada we don’t put those people on CBC Newsworld - we call them those people who have the misfortune of battling with mental illness, and they don’t make it to television, at least not as commentators for world events.

His latest assertion is that Israeli PM Sharon was “sent” a stroke from God for…well who the fuck cares what Robertson said was the reason…

Continuing one with the trend, should we not allow the possibility that bleeding people with leeches is sound medical treatment, that the Moon might be made of green cheese, that the world is flat, is the centre of the universe, and hangs from the heavens by large gold chains?

As soon as a coin in the coffer rings, another soul from Purgatory springs…
