"Nostradamus predicts the inevitable collapse of the capitalist system..."
You know, there's a reason why my email contact information listed here is "crap@afineline.org". Not because I don't want to hear from the many wonderful people who visit UTI, but because I want the kooks who also send me email to have to look at that address in their mailbox and think twice about what they're going to send me. It seems to me that sane people will get a small chuckle out of using that address - they get the joke - whereas the nutters will just be whipped into a greater frenzy.
Take for example one recent email I got, along with about two dozen other people. It started this way:
Subject: Nostradamus predicts the inevitable collapse of the capitalist system and the world-wide socialist revolution which follows
did you ever hear of the 1st amendment? or will you censor me like
everyone you disagree with...the vote of the deluded, deceived, and brainwashed masses is not
valid.... it is a SHAM DEMOCRACY!FINAL DRAFT FOR WORLD-WIDE CIRCULATION:
You get the idea. Actually, it was a bit flattering - not only did your UTI writers get this, but PZ and Dawkins and some other 'big names' did as well. Good company to be in. Well, except that the company was chosen by a crazy person. Oh well, you take compliments where you find them, I suppose.
Happy Monkey, everyone!

New Idea?
Hank, you give the idiot too much credit. He does not tolerate ANY idea from entering his head. Well, any sane idea, that is.
Argh.
What a dickhead. Criminy, I get soooo tired of jackasses like this who have NO FUCKING IDEA what the First Amendment is all about.
It's like they grew up on some whole different world, and then never read a civics textbook after they got here.
And that's aside from all the rest of the thing. I'll wager this chump would fight to the death for his right to not allow any new idea into his head.
