Here, here. I would agree. If only the media didn't dumb us down. If only "no childs' behind was left", eh? People have to actively educate themselves out of superstition, but each individual must base their place in this world on their inter-actions with it.

Without ruining your explanation with political tripe, I have to remind you that GWB appealed to that lowest common denominator for his electoral base, and that was the superstitious evangelicals.

I think space fascinates most of us here because we like to look up and towards the stars. If everyone had a chance to view the earth from orbit, we might see ourselves here in a different perspective. We might have more co-operation and respect for this jewel upon which we live.

I liked what you said about looking for patterns.
Whether you're a scientist or a shaman, patterns DO count and help us make sense of our worlds.
