A Q & A session with carbonunit52:

Q: What political party do you believe God favors?

A: I believe that God created people, and people created political parties, so the answer is neither. I do believe that the devil has a vested interest in both of them though, seeing as how they do so much of his work.

Q: Does your dog bite rightwing nuts?

A: Well, he is trying to quit. The first time he bit a rightwing nut, I took him to get a series of shots; the dog that is, and he does not like shots.

Q: What do you think of the recent presidential election?

A: I think that Barack Obama won. ‘nuff said.

Q: Do you have any views on the condition of the US government?

A: Why, yes, yes I do. The United States Congress is where the power is supposed to be, but they have all been spineless wimps when it comes to anything except pandering to special interests and voting for votes, simply disgusting. I hope Barack gets them mad enough to get something worthwhile done, besides pissing away money uselessly. My two cents on the cure for the economy is to make the currency based on a range of commodities, not promissory notes, in addition to tax cuts for the middle class, and tax increases on the wealthy, you know who you are.

Q: What do you consider to the be the results of ignorance masquerading as logic in political discussions?

A: Denial of facts, sarcasm fueled by arrogance, limiting sources of information to those that agree with your stance regardless of accuracy, plain old making stuff up, self-righteousness, personally derogatory epithets, and accusing the other side of these same things.

Q: What is your opinion of Intelligent Design?

A: I think that the modern safety razor is a fine example of intelligent design.

Q: What is your status as a sex symbol?

A: Women find me resistible.

You might say the Creationist argument is evolving.

JeffC, good point on the evolution of Intelligent Design

Submitted by carbonunit52 on Fri, 02/13/2009 - 8:15pm.

It appears that the survival of the fittest theory is being proven with the strategies used to promote Creationism, with the "Intelligent Design" approach being a natural selection. I just love it when things come together.

Memetics

Is this to suggest that the ID meme confers a survival advantage upon its bearers? Only if they already have tenure.

Survival advantage of the ID meme

Submitted by carbonunit52 on Sat, 02/14/2009 - 1:16pm.

In a meme eat meme world, survival would depend on whether your meme stays out of the kill range of a competing meme, and I suppose that having a high enough tenure to hang out in would help.

Thank you for the concern S. Lindsey,

Submitted by carbonunit52 on Fri, 02/13/2009 - 4:14am.

but actually, there are two sides to every unit, the inside and the outside. One dimensional views result in things like, oh say for instance, a Bush administration or the Republican stance on Social Security.

Humor is the soul of wit... Not sure you caught the ref to the "3" of us.. but liked the post anyway.. It is always good to be retrospective..

Snif.. you need to learn to see humor in things and learn not to only see through the prism of politics... You really need to get over yourself...

Li'l Snipey simply can't abide opinions other than his/her own.

S/he also seems to have a pathetic need to get the last word in. Just watch.
