Larry Carter CenterNov 30

It is time to focus on the C ST Congressional Cult, the corruption is massive and historic for decades and now gays face the death penalty in Uganda directly because of "missionaries" intimately connected to Imhoffe, Ensign, Sanford, Pickering and dozens of others living or sleeping in this former nunery that only recently lost it's tax exemption which made "rent" there very cheap walking distance from Congress....this is the crime of theocracy in action and all must be impeached and removed from office

Hambster, I'm going to probably end up blogging later tonight about this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29811628/

I'm going to come at it from a biblical point of view, but feel free to take it on any way you want. There was also this tidbit in the news which may be up your alley as well:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29757969/

and this

Enjoy the insanity.

Ah. I get you, RouX. I guess in my little part of the universe, I'd be happy if the only mistake people made about evolution is thinking we descended from apes. That would be about five steps in the right direction for a lot of them.
 

RouX RenardMar 17

Hi Hamby,

I was not arguing the classification, but our origins. The source hominid was not an ape. Trust me I am not in denial here. I can monkey around as much as the next man. I'm sure you agree that letting them say we are 'descended' from apes is at least 'misleading'.

Keep up the good work, Hamby!

RouX, we are apes. That is our classification. We are, in fact, descended from an ancestor common to Pan and Homo, an ape-like primate, but if you check the textbooks, you'll see that we are, without any asterisks, apes.
