Here's a lovely set of poll results:
Texans: Dinosaurs, Humans Walked the Earth at Same Time | The Texas Tribune 59% of my fellow Texans either think dinosaurs and humans coexisted, or "don't know" if they did. 65% disagree or "don't know" that humans descended from other animals. I think I'll go get a beer to cry into.

Hi Coragyps,
29% said they go to church once or twice a year. Wow. Displays of devotion like that are hard to argue with. Mutate and Survive

The scary thing is Texas has enough resources to survive on its own when the shit hits the fan. Just imagine, The Independent Republic of Young Earth Creationist Texas.

Just imagine, The Independent Republic of Young Earth Creationist Texas. If only. It would make things so much easier if all these nutjobs all moved to one area of the country and then seceded. I think the average IQ would go up about 50 points for the rest of the country and the advancement of science and technology would exponentially increase. One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous. - Carl Sagan, The Fine Art of Baloney Detection "You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe." - Carl Sagan "It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World

Yeah, but then their president would one day get a message from god to launch a nuclear attack against the rest of the country. The message from God would probably come from Patt Robertson. And they would probably elect Glen Beck or Rush Loudmouth President. Wouldn't that be scary.

Not without seeing their long-form Texas birth certificates first.... Forgive me for the insensitive presumptuousness, but does anyone really think birthplace would be a prerequisite? I mean, the belief that we were hocus-pocused into existence 6000-odd years ago, ownership of a minimum of 8 assault rifles, and inability to pronounce "nuclear" ought to about do it for election to the highest office in URT, yes? (sorry Coragyps) Have a good one. Edited by Apothecus, : No reason given. "My own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.

Don't apologize, Apothecus: you're correct. And nobody in the right wing cares about birth certificates for low-skin-melanin folks like Limbaugh, anyway.
