I've come to the conclusion that people like Camping are not the problem. The problem is the idiots that think there is some sort of legitimacy to these prophecies. There will always be some nutjob screaming that the end of the world is coming so what we need to do is make people understand it's all nonsense. However, maybe we should be leading these lambs to the slaughter to weed them out of the gene pool and the voting population.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
