That's like going to the Discovery Institute for information on evolution. You know what they're going to say ahead of time if you know their agenda.<BR/><BR/>A particular highlight was when they declared that some infinitesimal fraction of the species on Earth were actually in danger of extinction so what's the big deal?<BR/><BR/>If they had any idea how many species of, say, beetles or nematodes there were on record they might understand how many species that seemingly tiny percentage represents -- and if they had any understanding of ecology they'd know how many of those species are the cool animals. Guess they don't like rhinos or big cats or native Hawaiian birds or...<BR/><BR/>I particularly liked the part in the clip where he said that almost all his friends were atheist libertarians and that he'd vote for Obama in a heartbeat if his peripheral Democrat friends weren't such creeps...<BR/><BR/>He didn't even quote any actually insulting statements that his creepy Democrat pals had made, only their reactions -- didn't you love that look of oh-my-fallen-people he had when he repeated the vomit/Toronto comments? That sad little shake of his head...<BR/><BR/>Of course their negative reactions to McCain/Palin (whose name also registers as a misspelling) were signs of the low hatefulness of Democrats while his comments about them were due to his high-mindedness.<BR/><BR/>Some decision making process you got there, buddy.
