I'm sure you already know you're an asshole, so I won't bother with
insults.  However I do recommend you rethink what you do with your time.
There are many, many ignorant people on the internet (aol especially), and
their posts are so obviously ridiculous that to parody them isn't
necessary.  It's painful to see you wasting your time on them.

The reason I'm writing, though, is to comment on your flame of Russ
Johnson.  He says that humanity's possession of a thumb separates us from
animals.  You ridicule this idea.  In fact, this is a criterion often used
to distinguish mankind from animalkind, and one that you can't really
knock.  Fully opposable (sp?) thumbs allow for use of sophisticated tools,
which arguably leads to civilization.  I'm not sure if I buy this idea
personally, but it's not a manifestation of ignorance, just a slightly old
theory.
