are people really this stupid?

yes, yes they are. this has to be one of the most infuriating things you’ll read all year (and yes, i know, we’re only two days into it at this point).

but truly, somebody has to stop these people. i’d suggest a plague of some sort (locusts anyone?), but there’s no point in perpetuating the myths used by the fundamentalists to try and force this country back into the dark ages.

now, i have nothing against individuals practicing their own religious beliefs, whatever those might be. after all, there are lots of gods out there from which to choose and who am i to tell someone a) which one to choose; or b) to even choose one at all?

but when a taxpayer-funded entity like the national park service is bending over backwards not to offend a group of people for whom backwards is a descriptor best placed before the word “thinking,” then houston, we have a problem. a big one. a grand-canyon-sized problem, to be precise.
