If you take notice about NS, it's "post & run". It always is as it's simply a lame trolling tactic . Because the American right has nothing else. They aren't serious political players ......

Is that her worst mistake or is her failure to correct it her worst mistake?

I would go with Hypatia, the librarian at the Library of Alexadria...apparently not so wise with regards to fire protection. (and sorry to all about my thoughtless comment above.)

I don't disagree that Hypatia was a smart woman.
But most of the library had been burned before she was born, in collateral damage from raids on the city by Julius Caesar. In her time, what remained of the books were housed in the Serapeum, a temple to Serapis with which Hypatia had no connection.
She was a Neoplatonist who thought that the goal of life is to reconnect the fallen soul with the transcendent One, so if she were posting here people would call her an idiot.
Sorry to be picky about history, but this misinformation gets repeated all the time.

She didn’t live in the 21st century.
Even you might appear, superficially at least, to be not much more than just ordinarily dumb if you hold up the world view of a smart person from the Paleolithic as a benchmark for yours.
But compare to people actually of your century you are quite a sizable number of millenniums further up the scale of comparative idiocy.

A common complaint, but it comes from an alternate universe where abrahamism had to come up with some excuse for why it's pews were emptying that didn't have anything to do with them being cocks. I guess all the molestations just don't seem like a causal agent to cultists. Back in the 90s, lol..the rise of paganism was considered to be a product of consumerism..as these other traditions were packaged for consumption under the new age header. Man, they really do seem to get it when the other guy is eating their lunch.
Religion, is a market. Religiosity is a form of consumerism, not a competitor.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
