oh my goodness! how did this happen:
A Gallup poll last year showed almost half of Americans believe that humans did not evolve but were created by God in their present form within the last 10,000 years.reuters/yahoo 26.May.07
Three of 10 Republican presidential candidates said in a recent debate that they did not believe in evolution.

The default assumption is the growth of ignorance about evolution and the lack of growth of non-ignorance or knowing about evolution is somehow separate entirely from the primary source of all knowledge of any kind in most American homes. We're three generations deep into being raised by television and there is no accountability no responsibility not the slightest trace of even a single thread of acknowledgment that the men who run that enterprise that the shifting anonymous crew of men who have run that enterprise all these years have created this circumstance these circumstances.
Television has no responsibilities because it is not a "thing". It has to be one in order to bear responsibility for what it does. And it isn't so it doesn't.
The fundamentalists are to blame for their own bizarre ideas and that in turn has no connection at all to the mobilized armies of giant SUV's burning down the highways everywhere. Because the people in the SUV's aren't in the main fundamentalists.
Though most of them don't "believe" in "evolution".
Or you could look at the obvious similarity between mindless pursuit of self-gratification and mindless acceptance of codified ignorance in the real workings of the world. Where self-gratification will obviously lead eventually, where mindless acceptance of ignorance will obviously lead eventually. How close they are. Slaves of appetite or slaves of helplessness but slaves either way no matter. Domesticated.
You could look at how much energy is freely given to the hidden purveyors of whatever it is both of these ignorant populations desire so badly.
Personal energies money psychic-electricity whatever it is that museum spent something close to 30 million dollars bringing itself into being and the disheartening fact of its presence in the teeming wilderness of this desperate moment is effectively increasing the polarity. Success if the desired effect is the estrangement of decent people from each other through that polarization. And a disturbingly metastisizing body of evidence that this world is or may now nearly be owned by evil outright.
