		<description>&lt;&lt;You’re a proudly ignorant bigot who is in favor of marginalizing minorities and replacing science education with religious indoctrination? - signed - Naked Bunny with a Whip...&gt;&gt;

Phil - 

I&#039;m pretty sure Naked Bunny with a Whip does not know me nor does he have any idea where I stand on minorities, science, or religion - however Phil - when you stray from science into politics you invite the &quot;Naked Bunny with a Whip...&quot; to attack your fans. 

Again Phil - please - stick with the science - reading the comments here I see I am not alone in being interested in science - not listening to the &quot;Naked Bunny with a Whip...&quot; get all wound up.

Thanks!

		<description>MarkH, 

Why do you keep wasting your time then? Why did you spend time to complain about it in the first place?</description>

		<description>From Dave Barry:

&lt;blockquote&gt;You know what I miss? I miss 1960. Not the part about my face turning overnight into the world&#039;s most productive zit farm. What I miss is the way the grown-ups acted about the Kennedy-Nixon race. Like the McCain-Obama race, that was a big historic deal that aroused strong feelings in the voters. This included my parents and their friends, who were fairly evenly divided, and very passionate. They&#039;d have these major honking arguments at their cocktail parties. But unlike today, when people wear out their upper lips sneering at those who disagree with them, the 1960s grown-ups of my memory, whoever they voted for, continued to respect each other and remain good friends.

What was their secret? Gin. On any given Saturday night they consumed enough martinis to fuel an assault helicopter. But also they were capable of understanding a concept that we seem to have lost, which is that &lt;b&gt;people who disagree with you politically are not necessarily evil or stupid.&lt;/b&gt; My parents and their friends took it for granted that most people were fundamentally decent and wanted the best for the country. So they argued by sincerely (if loudly) trying to persuade each other. They did not argue by calling each other names, which is pointless and childish, and which constitutes I would estimate 97 percent of what passes for political debate today.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Emphasis added.</description>

		<description>Doug - I won&#039;t stoop to your level.

I feel political discussions on blogs are a waste of time.

Apparently discussions with you are also a waste of time because you&#039;re more interested in trying to put childish words in my mouth than considering what I actually say.</description>

		<description>Ahhh, your effort was just wasted. And if you remember Palin was all about the whole &quot;submitting a request to a higher power to get a leg up in the mortal world&quot;. I see the cartoon as being a satirical piece based around these specific comments and the fact that she hurt the Republican ticket in the end. If you really think she would make a good President please o please tell me how. 

It all comes back to the old Waaaah you hurt my feelings, Waaaahh.</description>
