Not without merit

[PopeRatzo]

I've lived in places that make the Internet seem like a great place to spend one's life. A town in South Central Missouri comes to mind, where people believe the earth is 6000 years old, George Bush is a great American president, and soon the immigrants are gonna outnumber the humans. Unfortunately, these people seem to have followed me onto the Internet. You can find them at any right-wing website. Oh, well, I've since moved back to downtown Chicago where those same immigrants are considered friends, the Earth may have been made by a god of your choosing, but it has nothing to do with the truth of evolution and George Bush is a great American turd. Finally, back among the human race. But I don't blame those Missourans, many of them count the livestock amidst their family trees.
