I think the federal probation office in Flagstaff would be a good place to start looking...earendel wrote:So what did the sign say?gsabc wrote:http://tinyurl.com/59y3p3

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.

This week, our local convenience store was offering snack-size Pringles for .79 (point-79) cents. Even with the sales tax, that's less than a penny, and I would gladly let them keep the change.
But there's no point even trying, 'cause you'd be dealing with the same brain power that posted the sign in the first place.
