This is the only warning you'll get.

So, do I take this seriously, or don't I ?
I'm so confused now. If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
So do I take this seriously?
If I do take this seriously, then I can't take anything you say seriously. But then I have to include this post, which means I can't take it seriously. Then I... but... how do.... *Ker-PLODE!* =New Head Appears!!= Ha! You can't defeat me like this. I have paradox-absorbing crumple zones!
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925 Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan RE: This is the only warning you'll get.
