[Education] ...Or You Could Simply Give Up

According to a CBS Poll dated November 22, 55% of all Americans believe that God created humans in their present form, 27% believe they evolved under God's guidance, and only 13% believe that humans evolved without divine intervention. Now the bad news. Among Kerry supporters, those percentages are 47%-28%-21%. We are now a nation that can no longer cure a hangnail.

Another poll, conducted by Cornell University, showed nearly half of all Americans favor limiting the rights of Muslim Americans — 44% favor some restriction, 48% oppose any restriction. Twenty-seven percent thought Muslims should register with the federal government; 22% favored racial profiling; and 29% favored infiltrating Muslim civic and volunteer organizations to keep an eye on their activities.

On the bright side, mindless stupidity is bound to breed new businesses, such as Afterlife Telegrams: "For a donation of $5.00 per word (5 word minimum), we can have telegrams delivered to people who have passed away. This is done with the help of terminally Ill volunteers who memorize the telegrams before passing away, and then deliver the telegrams after they have passed away."
