Evolution
Hmm, it's been a while what with turkey and traveling and stuff like that there. So here we go again...back to my bitching...
It has become very obvious to me that evolution is a crock. There's just no way mankind could have lasted and still have people as stupid as there are running around today. One would think that after a few million years the really stupid folks would have been weeded out.
Today I was waiting in the post office to return an unsolicited package (which is a whole 'nother story). Something that would have taken me seconds to drop off at the counter - it didn't fit the mailbox you see. There was a lady a couple places in front of me wondering what to do with a bunch of one cent stamps - 15 to be exact. First she wanted the post office to buy them back, but they wouldn't do that. Then she asked what she could possibly do with one cent stamps - she said there was no way she could put 39 of them on one letter. The clerk had to explain to her that instead of using 39 one cent stamps, she could use her 15 one cent stamps together with a 24 cent stamp. And believe it or not, it took a couple of tries to explain this.
Once out of the post office and on my way back to work, I was driving down a four lane road. I was in the left lane since I was going to turn left in about a block or two. The car in front of me in the same lane put their right turn signal on, briefly moved right, then turned the signal off and returned to the left lane. About a block further, they then put their right turn signal back on and quickly swerved across the right lane to make a right turn off the road.
Can you picture these people's ancestors about 100,000 years ago trying to figure out that the lion in front of them with slobbering teeth and sharp claws was a threat and then what to do about it? Let's see, should I wait, no, maybe run left, no, maybe run right, no, maybe climb the tree, or... never mind, slash, gulp and swallow.
