You made it

festival pungo strawberry

You did it. You’ve made it just shy of half a year. The un-official kick off to the summer is this weekend. As I have said before, if you have not followed through with your New Year’s resolutions by now, oh well. You know what? Enjoy it. Eat half a box of Krispy Kremes and wash them down with a Bay Breeze

    BTW (for context) - this poll was on the Expelled myspace site asking if ID should be taught in public schools…

    So someone managed to stuff a myspace poll? If this is making your day, I do not envy your life in the slightest.

    Judging by the picture title it appears to be about the movie expelled, but what was the poll?

    Not me. But then, I learned the crucial difference between skepticism and cynicism long ago. Also, the incredible discussions that happen here, and which obviously do change some minds, are very encouraging. To those who answer “yes”, I say, “Stick around, keep reading, and be prepared to be pleasantly surprised.”

    “2. One who holds views resembling those of the Cynics; a snarler; a misanthrope; particularly, a person who believes that human conduct is directed, either consciously or unconsciously, wholly by self-interest or self-indulgence, and that appearances to the contrary are superficial and untrustworthy.”If you pay attention to politics, it is quite hard to avoid the conclusion that in the political class, “conduct is directed … wholly by self-interest”.The internet (and Reddit, whatever) makes it easier to pay attention to politics.

    Owh, didn’t know about the film before this.Such a controversial film.

    Agreed - not ground-breaking or important (coz we all know that science is not determined by popular opinion right? Especially not on MySpace).So because the producers of Expelled obviously know this it was a joke (otherwise why put it there?) we decided to play along with them and prove their point.

    I question everything now.Any institution of authority is now a target of suspicion.Any “official statement” is automatically a lie.Nothing and no one is innocent.There is subtext to everything.The government is evil.Religion must be bad…..I wasn’t like this before. I swear.I miss the old me.But I’m sure they want it that way…
