"after all Darwinism has shown us that we are only re -arranged pond scum"

Wow - what a sad and derisory view to take of the Earth and all that lives on it Pete, and Darwin certainly didn't think that. Pond scum are actually rather wonderful and astonishing organisms, given they've been around for around 3 billion years. It's all good, all wonderful and we are an intrinsic part of the same ecosystem.

Cheers, Stu. This is the best post of the thread. Not least because it throws into sharp relief the dismal and leaden view of pete and his sorry ilk, revealing them as the proto-fascist and devious scumbags that they really are. Imagine a world run by these horrid people. Freedom would become a word of the past, just as truth is a word of the past to Snail (who, I note, no-one ever rushes to support - what an embarrassment!)
