This is not a llama

Its a Alpaca, maybe that's a llama on the clock.

Kinda Dr. Seuss ish
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

And just for the record, a camel and a vicuna are not a llama, either. :P

I learned something new the other day on either Discovery or Animal Planet -- camelids originated in South America, went north, and crossed over the land bridge going east to become camels. I think it's usually the other way around -- red deer came over to become elk, muntjacs came over to become mule deer and whitetails, and so on.

I wonder if it was the same with horses -- eohippus went east, became horses, and died out here.
-- In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the people.
-- America would be a better place if leaders would do more long-term thinking. -- Wilma Mankiller
