According to this poll (admittedly from a third rate podunk local newspaper), the majority think G.W. Bush should be added to Mount Rushmore. I am truly frightened by the level of stupidity this reflects.

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

I'm all for it. They can put his head up there with a webcam focused on it, and we can all watch it rot.

Yeah, slap that mug of his up on Mt. Rushmore. Then underneath, add the phrase, "What, Me Worry?"

"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."

"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"

If you showed him snorting a line of coke, you could change the name to Mt. Rush....

If you are going to put his face on it, might as well change the other faces to Hitler, Stalan, and Sadam.

At least that way he would fit in.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

May I suggest that such a monument should be built in Plaza Del Pueblo in the town of Buņol in Spain.

The poll results now show "Yes" with only 44%, and "No way!" with 52%.

I told the guy I work with (a Bush supporter) about this thread, and that there is a poll about "putting Bush up on Mt. Rushmore." My coworker's first reaction - knowing there aren't a lot of Bush supporters on SFN - was to ask if people here were talking about pushing Bush off Mt. Rushmore.

A very good punchline, in my opinion.

You have to admit there is a strong resemblance in both face and mind.

Hmmmm. When I posted, it was about 54% yes, and a couple hundred votes less had been cast. Have you guys been stuffing the ballot box?
