As I was leaving IHOP last night, after a quick trip out for a   
    late dinner, the oldies music they play started up a very old   
    one. We stopped in the entry way to listen as it was one we knew   
    when we were quite young.   
      
    Do you remember "Telstar"?   
      
    I mentioned that Telstar is actually quite significant.   
      
    Once this was a country that made a hit of a musical piece that   
    celebrated a scientific and technical achievement.   
      
    Now this country runs rampant with no-nothings that smear and   
    lie about scientists who offer honest analysis that might just   
    hurt the no-nothings bank accounts.   
      
    There are a host of hate spewers who are selling their souls and   
    spreading fraud and lies on subjects they know nothing about. To   
    a no-nothing calling someone a scientist gives him equal status   
    with those who actully know a specific subject, if the   
    no-nothings can profit from it, or be frightened enough to turn   
    off their brains.   
      
    Religious power seekers rant against science in the classroom,   
    and try to pretend they can formulate a science to back up their   
    religious beliefs.   
      
    On top of all that, if you oppose them you are accused of   
    biggotry. The no-nothings of today claim they are the real   
    Christians, and those who do not accept their narrow views are   
    anti-Christian.   
      
    Once America was a nation that celebrated knowledge and science.   
      
    Now America is a nation where right wing lies and hate are the   
    nationl currency of debate.   
      
    Enjoy your prison.
