[quote]can't remember when I've agreed with you so much on any issue but this is exactly right. In fact, most people are NOT interested in truth anyhow. Opinion is much more the normative these days. [/quote] and yet you yourself offer poll results to indicate what? common sense vs the scientific method? popular opinion vs logic? belief in what cannot be proven vs objective analysis of physical evidence? roughly 100 years ago, belief in cyclops as decribed in other anc
a lil more than 80% of india's 1.15 billion people may believe in multiarmed female and multicolored elephant dieties--a number that's equal to nearly 66% of our entire population. what's more, they've been believin in them for several thousand years before the patriarch of the religion which spawned your own began hearing a voice in his head telling him to kill his son. truth is truth...notta popularity contest

all of the above--serious tho it may be--has little to do with the point i hoped to make with his one. anyone who's taken time to check out their articles' referrals has some idea of ju's scope and range. in certain respects it's analagous to a long gone phenomenon recalled by the wall of voodoo's 'mexican radio'. that song celebrated broadcast stations located just across the border from restrictive fcc wattage limits. under the right conditions they owned the

[quote]non-sequitor[/quote] not at all. chronologically obama follows in the footsteps of an administration infamous for choreographing whatever press conferences it couldn't squirm outta over the past 8 years. not only has ari fliescher copped to it, he's explained how and why it was done (be on message or off the grid). on second consideration, choreography is really only apt if we expand its definition to include stupid pet tricks (thus inadvertantly providing eric bo
