RE: Happy New Year?

Mr. Zarelli,

It’s bad enough that you probably vote but the thought that you can reproduce is…is…what’s the word...abhorrent will do for now.

It’s not that you are dumb – the facts would support that interpretation – it’s just that there’s so much you don’t know.

I don’t want to put too much of a burden on you so I’ll just focus on one thing.

New Year’s Resolution #5
“Believe in our scientists again.”

Again?

Weren’t scientists the really bright group who told us that the sun revolved around the earth? Weren’t they the guys who told us that tomatoes were poisonous? I forget. How did Lysenko’s plan for potatoes work out?

I am holding a copy of “The Population Bomb”. It was written in 1969. The author, Paul Ehrlich, PhD, was a really bright guy. He said the race was between the world starving to death or freezing to death by the year 2000. Don’t bother checking your calendar. It’s March 3, 2011. Plus, Lord Barack’s bottom line lady tells us that teenage obesity is the biggest problem this country has faced since the ominous confluence of the Bermuda Triangle and the treacherous leisure suit.

If I were to say that you couldn’t find your ass using both your hands you would probably take it as a compliment.

Don’t.
