"I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few." Benjamin Disraeli. "Power To The People!" Wolfie Smith "We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution" Abraham Lincoln

Roll On 22 May 2011!

These aren't religious nutters. I ought to tolerate their sincerely-held beliefs but I can't do so with a straight face. At least when scientists predict the end of the earth their estimates provide me with the necessary few billion years or so to finish everything without hurrying. And if I survive the sun's expansion across the solar system, I have a few more billion years to look forward to before entropy and a cold universe turns life into a wet Sunday in Aberystwyth.

Jim Baxter said...: I used to hope that the kind of tripe you refer to Brian would wither as knowledge advanced. How foolish that hope was. I wish I had an answer that gave hope for the advancement of pure reason (which must of course be 'critiqued'). Instead, all we can say is that, like the poor, fools will always be with us. We can only ignore them.; March 09, 2011 1:09 am
