The High Cost of Regress

I'm telling you, though, folks, the absolute level of ignorance on the far-right - it's staggering!! Laura Ingraham, for example, she's still of the opinion (this, I'm saying, despite an incredible amount of data to the contrary) that homosexuality and being transgender are "life-style choices". I mean, she even goes as far as to conjur up images of God to buttrass this frigging misinformation. Of course, what's even worse is when she goes on to say (and, yeah, here's where the vindictiveness fuses with her ignorance) that these two groups are in fact poisonous, ruinous of the culture, et.. Talk about mean-spiritedness, huh, being wrong on multiple counts, etc.? And some people actually listen to this crap FOUR HOURS A DAY! Unbelievable...................................Oh, and then there's Tom DeLay on "Hardball" the other night, saying that "Man" has absolutely no impact, ZERO, on the environment/climate change. It's like, I feel like telling this guy, "Go tell that to the poor bastards on the southern tip of Chile, whose staggering rate of skin-cancer has clearly been linked to ozone-depletion. Tell THEM that all the crap we've been putting into the atmosphere hasn't changed the climate. I dare you."...................................I mean, sure, we can quibble over solutions and all but to so categorically deny the obvious like this. It's like, too bad we couldn't just put Mr. DeLay in an alternate universe - you know, one in which the scientists didn't care about, say, flourocarbons, never sought to study/purge them from the atmosphere, etc.. This, I'm saying, in that, seriously, I can almost hear that bastard hacking pronto/as we speak..................................Sympathy? Sure, a little.
