DISQUS

I had my kids vaccinated, and I wonder why scientists aren't investigating the links between vaccination and cuteness, vaccination and A's in biology class, vaccination and intelligence, vaccination and empathy, vaccination and whining for new video games, vaccination and bickering. None of these traits came out before my kids were vaccinated, and I want to know if there is a link.

Great article. I am glad that my kids have been protected by modern medicine.

Ah, man! Succinct, to the point and very important. I am glad that you are one of the godless, and this is definitely something I want to add to the upcoming Carnival of the Godless. Thanks for submitting it.

State worship? What the hell is that? Oh, you mean when citizens vote in representatives and choose through the form of government we have to pay to have our children educated so that it isn't the privilege of the wealthy.

Perhaps Jim Babb would prefer to return to the days of serfdom, when you stayed in your class and dared not venture out. We could learn our trades as apprentices and stay in the trade until we died. I think that would be much better for society than the state worship he fears.

Perhaps he fears the ideal, which has not been well achieved I admit, of an informed citizenry. Libertarians, what a hoot. They are as tied to their ideology as creationists. Never want to let facts shake our tree, do we Jim?
