We are 3 or more jestering monkeys, summoning the spirit and general flair of our favorite american newscaster. We will discuss, debate and debase all things that tingle our tummies - sex, politics, music, culture and of course - sex. And politics.

Salon.com | A Theocratic Dark Age, an Interview with R. Dawkins

Salon.com News | The atheist

Dawkins gives an interesting interview on Atheism in an article from Salon.com (in order to read articles on salon - you have to watch a quick commercial - usually from PBS or Saab or some such. Click the button to get a "day pass" well worth it every day).

"...you are slipping towards a theocratic Dark Age. Which is very disagreeable for the very large number of educated, intelligent and right-thinking people in America. Unfortunately, at present, it's slightly outnumbered by the ignorant, uneducated people who voted Bush in.

But the broad direction of history is toward enlightenment, and so I think that what America is going through at the moment will prove to be a temporary reverse. I think there is great hope for the future. My advice would be, Don't despair, these things pass." - Richard Dawkins at Salon.com
