Munchies

I've just finished riding the bike for today's exercise and sit down to watch a show. The History Channel, that bastion of truth and reason, had a show about ancient technology. The line that got me ready to switch channels: "There are only two ways these ancient peoples could have built these remarkable structures to such precisions. Either God did it, which we know did not happen, or aliens from other planets came and built them for them and took their precision tools with them when the left the Earth."

Morons.

This is the same channel that had a show on "the truth about the Mormons" which was full of lies, half truths, innuendos, and unsubstantiated "factoids".

So I switched over to the Food Channel and there is a show about chocolate. Big Mistake. I am craving chocolate.

The End.

I think the same MORONS wrote the American History textbook I have to read for my American Civilization class. It reads: "Mormonism assigned complete spiritual and secular authority to men. Only through subordination and obedience to their husbands could women hope to gain salvation." It also said that the Mormons settled in Utah because it was "a fertile and well watered land." ??? Hmmm. Oh well, reading about it in the textbook at least gave me some brief entertainment.

Fertile and well watered land? I can see them misunderstanding the doctrine of priesthood authority, but all they have to do to get the weather part right is look at a frikking map. There are the ignorant who are ignorant because they lack the opportunity for education. Then there are the stupid who by their own choice remain stupid. Then... there are journalists and text book authors.

I am flabbergasted. Morons abound, and the world too often calls them "learned". So folks listen to them and believe what they hear and read! No bother checking out the veracity of their claims.

And Utah? Fertile and well-watered? NOW it might be, but only because those bigoted Mormon men, along with their submissive, brainless women, made it fertile and well-watered through years of hard work!

Laurie, I still cannot save my comments on your blog. So that is the ONLY reason I am not writing there. Sorry.
