James O'Neil I agree with most of your comment except that, in your opinion, all politicians are brain dead? I disagree on two grounds, first you have to grow a brain in order to witness it's demise; the second is the thing that is dead with regard to education is basic common sense? Here I submit its obituary
Today we morn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by by simple, sound financial policies [don't spend more than you earn] and reliable parenting strategies [adults not children, are in charge]. His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Panadol, sun lotion or a band aid to a student-- but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common sense lost the will to live as the ten commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Obituary continued:
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I know my rights, Someone else is to blame, and I am a Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing. Anon. Submitted by Rhrosty. Posted by Rhrosty, Sunday, 22 April 2012 10:23:28 AM

Runner
For your own sake, please stop commenting. Everyone is laughing at you. Posted by GlenC, Sunday, 22 April 2012 10:55:43 AM

Before anyone posts again in denial of evolution can I suggest that they visit, read and deeply consider the information at
http://humanorigins.si.edu/ This site is the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. If you think the present Theory of Evolution is not firmly established by substantial evidence you are in effect calling every scientist who has contributed to the information on the site a conniving liar and that is one thing they are not. Occasionally one scientist might head of on a wild goose chase but when contrary evidence is confirmed that scientist will withdraw his hypothesis and may be somewhat embarrassed. GlenC has commented about runner but I wish to make that comment more general. Denying verified evidence makes you look rather dimwitted when the only support you can offer is your faith that what was written by the ancients, and claimed to be the word of their god, was the last word on any topic.

Or maybe not. At any rate my silly conspiracy theory is still more credible than your silly theory that evolution is a conspiracy invented by atheists in order to obfuscate the truth about Creationism and thus somehow - I have no idea how because you've never made that part clear - bring about the downfall of society.
Atheists didn't develop evolutionary theory: biologists did. Many of those biologists would have been or are religious including a lot of Christians. So much for evolutionary theory being the invention of heretics. Many of the people who accept evolutionary theory are Christian: so much for evolutionary theory leading people into heresy.
It is one thing to argue that evolutionary theory is wrong and Creationism is right. It's quite another to argue that evolution is some sort of deliberate lie cooked up by shadowy Godless conspirators to hide the truth: where is your evidence for such a claim?
Cheers,
Tony
