As they say : We all sprang from monkeys but some of us didn’t spring far enough!

At lerats the dude’s got ahandy halloween costume .. or maybe stole it form someone who did!

Hmm … Hang on a sec! Looking closer I think I see the dudes problem -Reptilian skin, therapodial posture, covered to hide his real nature .. GOT it!

Now I understand – this guy is actually a dinosaur! Y’know one of the last rare unfossilised one’s that had just gained their intelligence level when the KT impactor hit! He hates evolution because it ended the dinosuar world he was in and led to us evolving as dominant species in their place. He wants to stop “evIlution” & turn it back to before when the Dinosaurs went out. Sorry buddy. No dice. Us mammels are here to stay!

I’ve got Nomad from Star Trek in my head now: “Sterilize! Sterilize!”

Evil is anything you really wish you didn’t have to experience due to that choice you just made.

Good is , consequences that allow us to say,,,”wow! That was sure fun,,,”

Calling humans or any other natural process good or evil is just simplistic fodder for children,,,like Santa Clause.

Phil, you mean, evil-ving? or evil-uting?

Siri.

People are good or evil; activities like evolution are natural. Generally, the natural world is innocent.

Sure, it does mean that viruses, bacteria, and pesky organisms like roaches, fire ants, fleas, ect, can become resistent to our efforts to control them.

Is it the teaching of evolution that is considered evil by such people?

I find evolution quite lovely.

Seriously, how in Galaxy’s name would two “mavericks” get along.

McCain: This is the way we should cut taxes….
Palin: Hold on, buddy, that’s the wrong way.
McCain: Listen, I’ve studied the situation and….
Palin: That’s your problem. You were thinkin’. A real maverick don’t think, no-how. A maverick does, not think. Thinking is for, those, such as, thinkinging thinking things.
McCain: You mean “Philosphers”
Palin: No, siree. I ain’t going to Pennsylvania.

Of course, that means the death of all life, but, hey, you want to stop Evolution. Ain’t no free lunch, buddy.

How many schools, how many clinics, how many planetariums, libraries, or small businesses could you build with the cash spent during a US election?

Obama could have bought about 200 planetariums with the $600 million he’s spent so far. McCain could have bought about 100 overhead projectors with the $300 million he’s spent.

And Craig, most of us in the U.S. are just as tired of it as you are. I voted on Columbus Day (in October), and tonight I have gotten 9 calls from political candidates wanting to tell me, 22 hours before the actual election is over, why they are better than the person they are running against, and how the other person is just plain evil and ignorant of what I want.

How the hell do ANY of them know what I want??!! They never ask me!

I took my home phone off the hook. If you need to reach me, call on the cell.

The process is WAY too long, and WAY too much money is spent that could go to better causes.

BTW, @Craig, Tina Fey (as Sarah Palin) this past Saturday evening was on Saturday Night Live selling “Palin 2012″ shirts.

I recently read a short story, written many years ago (in the 50s, I believe) by Isaac Asimov where ONE person in the U.S. is selected to elect the President. Multivac, the all-present, all knowing computer, selects the person who bests represents the entire country, and s/he chooses. I think we might be headed in that direction.
