Denial

"I don't believe in Beatles "
- John Lennon

I am not talking about people with the wit and poetic talent of John Lennon! Denial is a great hobby these days for many people, and 3 major things come to mind:

The Holocaust

Nobody denies Pearl Harbour or the Yalta Conference, but from the very same conflict people deny something that was so immense that it would seem to me to be about as undeniable as the 2004 Tsunami. Hitler had the big lie and his modern followers, or bastard children, have the big denial. This has included the leader of Iran. Maybe some people in New York City should deny that Mohammed ever existed - oh, the Iranians would get quite the chuckle out of that - why don't we depict it in a cartoon!

Evolution

Another world leader who knows bupkes about world history is George W Bush. Acoording to him when it comes to Evolution, he says "The jury is still out". As comedian Lewis Black said "WHAT jury?. The jury from the scopes trail in the 1920s?". Religions such as Christianity are wonderful, amazing, complicated often very dangerous belief systems that people have spent life times studying. In complexity they kick the shit out of evolution. Here's evolution - sitting down folks? - "Things change over time". Boy, that ain't Thomas Aquinas or St. Paul! And why isn't George W Bush a Catholic? Because religions...um....evolve...over time.

Global Warming

Another world leader who knows jack-shit about world history is our own - Steven "W" Harper. He said since we can't predict the weather next week how can we possibly know anything about climate change? As Jon Stewart I think said "just because Venus is our sister planet does not mean we want IT'S CLIMATE".

At least the heartless bastards who took away Pluto's Planet standard do not deny it exists!!

How long will it be before people deny John Lennon was shot to death??
