Hello to all and welcome to this fab new blog!
No comments are allowed here now or ever. Sorry.
I was going to kick things off with a little scribble on how the web is a magnificent tool for breeding, nurturing, and encouraging idiots, buffoons and charlatans of all stripes. That will have to wait for another time. Let's start as I mean to go on.
Here is a example of just one of the countless manifestations of bestial human stupidity on this here blue planet. A computer wasn't needed for it either.

Biologist P Z Myers comment (on his Pharyrngula site) sums it all up nicely:
"Ignorance isn't just a passive failure. Ignorance topples and destroys the great things
people build up."
We're all going to die out, aren't we?
