This question is important enough to warrant not being surrounded with my usual commentary, for today at least.
Why, in the name of all that is Good and Reasonable, not to mention rational, have we turned into a culture whose media celebrates angry cranks, pinheads, and those with ideas that a constipated gorilla would not wipe his ass on, while actively perpetrating ridicule and mistrust of bright, intelligent, driven people?
Watching the news, reading about the adventures of the creationist crowd and other religious fanatics of all stripes, I am convinced that if overt stupidity were money there would be no recession at all.
I have read pundits saying that people are afraid, that is why they are in the state they are in. If I get scared of something, I do not immediately lose my mind, strap on a gun, scream and begin throwing saddles on dinosaurs. I try to figure out how to handle the situation rationally. Silly me.
Snort.
