    World Ends Friday—Or Maybe Not

    Recall Harold Camping? He predicted that the world would end last May 21st and then, when it didn't, revised the date to October 21st, which is this Friday. Now, he's waffling a bit about that date as well.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Perhaps the senile old bastard is predicting his own end...I don't know how America tolerates all these so called evangelists...They wouldn't even get air time in Oz and would probably be run out of the country....

    It's because of freedom of speech. Any nutbag can go almost anywhere and spout any crazy shit they wish to. Fred Phelps, et. al would be arrested for their own safety if they tried the 'God hates fags' rant down under. Freedom of speech here does not guarantee an audience.
    I still wish you would adopt me. I would love to learn your coil winding secrets.

    They buy it, using donations from their listeners.

    Suffice to say that PT Barnum would feel right at home (in the professional sense) with most of these religious hucksters.

    (Yes, I know they're not all hucksters, but all too many of them are. Most remind me of a certain Steve Martin movie from a few years back, Leap of Faith. Or of a certain character in Fletch Lives... if you know the movie, you ought to know who I mean)

    Because we've been conditioned over the last 110 years to despise critical thought, and education.

    Now? Anyone with a degree is called an "elitist". Anyone who makes billions of dollars a year in the stock market is called a "hard worker".
