		<description>sorry man, i&#039;m on &quot;the right&quot; and i&#039;m not anti-intellectual at all. i basically agree with mr. pz. i believe evolution is a scientific fact and i think folks who believe the world is 4,000 years old are retards. i also believe there may indeed be some omnipotent being, or force, or whatever but i also believe that i&#039;m too small, insignificant, or otherwise unable to percieve or understand it.

couple things though... no matter what you think about the so-called &quot;critical and negative&quot; press, this movie has received a bunch more visibility because of this little stunt they pulled on pz. you seem to forget that what you see as &quot;critical and negative&quot; about the &quot;tools&quot; that created this movie, others see as an attack on their beliefs, and their side, and it&#039;s therefore somewhat of a rallying point for them. again, not saying i agree, i&#039;m just pointing out that you need to step outside yourself a little to try and understand how the &quot;IDiots&quot; (which is really an offensve term, BTM) perceive this same set of circumstances. and i do think it&#039;s funny that pz apparently didn&#039;t recognize it for what it was.

and it&#039;s often said that communication happens with the receiver, so no matter how brilliant, or nice, or hale fellow well met pz might be in person, every time i see him or hear him speak he comes off to me (and others) like a condescending snob. sorry pz if your reading this, your probably as wonderful of a fellow as michael describes. were just dealing with perceptions here.
