I'm thinking that the U.S. voting public simply doesn't like voting for public officials who are smarter than they are. Now, the guy in the White House has demonstrated that he's dumber than a box of boiled gravel, and that his henchment are so dumb they can't even hide their corrupt motives.


That "dumb as a box of boiled gravel" bested the Democrats twice. That's saying something.

The opposition party, the one claiming to have the smarter people, doesn't have the smarts to come up with alternatives.


They claim to have smarter people?? I hadn't heard that one before. To the contrary, most Democratic "positions" defy common sense and, more importantly, economic sense. I might be scared of Bush's foreign policy, but I am more afraid of Democrat's potential domestic policy.

To wish annihilation on our species to save "a planet" seems to me to ignore the fact that the planet neither knows nor cares, whilst it does matter to those of us who inhabit it.


Amen.

If there's a fatal flaw in a set of code, don't YOU attempt to remove it?


I attempt to fix it (unless it's so far gone as to be unsalvageable, but as Christoph pointed out, even with all our bugs and shortcomings, we're a much better "starting point" than any other creature on the planet).

That's eco-fascist philosophy. If you think things could be better without us, you start by leaving.


Again, Amen. I always suggest that those that complain about CO2 emissions start doing their part by personally not producing any. May they lead by example and if the rest of civilization wants to follow their example, so be it. :)
