Richard, re: “It is a great insult on the American populace and may point to the detrimental effects of religion on critical thinking abilities.” I would add watching the short series on Prime, Happy Shining People, is a real eye opener for the far right evangelical movement that has and continues to be strong on the religious brainwashing of America.

I will check into it, Chris. "Happy Shining People." Makes me think of "the Stepford Wives."

It's interesting how irrational and clueless we can be. I have two daughters, both extremely well educated (MBA and J.D.) The older one (41) has one dgtr (3 yrs 8 mos) while the younger one (39) has no children. I think that they looked ahead 30 - 40 years and decided that it may not be the thing to bring new humans into this world. I can relate to that.
