am not familiar with their particular scientific credentials, but if they find that some people vote based on rainfall, i'd be willing to bet that group is equal in number to the one that votes based on bunions...and that both add up to an insignificant number...and that the science that finds rainfall voting significant is equal to the science that finds the 6 day creation significant...

if you want to believe we are fucking morons, there is ample, selective evidence to cling to, and some here bring it up regularly, without having to find a poll or survey to validate their belief...

but the same holds true for 911 conspiracies and various religious credos...you can find plenty of americans with grade school education who vote based on their biblical beliefs, and quite a few powerful policy makers in washington with very post graduate educational credentials who do the exact same thing...so?

which group of fucking morons is the greater menace, and which scientific methodology will rationalize that fact?

keep the faith... or give up and sink into sophisticated, all knowing, gloom and doom...
