Lapin's program is from 1:00 to 4:00 Pacific time on Sundays and his conversation with Hannah occurred at approximately 3:40. After next Sunday, the archive will be updated with that day's program and the April 5 installment will no longer be available. <A HREF="http://ksfo.com/Article.asp?id=534876" REL="nofollow">[Link]</A>Zenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058127284297728552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-27443522742527704182009-04-07T20:59:00.000-07:002009-04-07T20:59:00.000-07:00they heard that ignorance is bliss and decided to ...<I>they heard that ignorance is bliss and decided to maximize their happiness</I><BR/><BR/>Pure awesome, and a perfect description of creationists as well.IvanMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-75489497545848993552009-04-07T20:58:00.000-07:002009-04-07T20:58:00.000-07:00Aside from the rather reprehensible self-admission...Aside from the rather reprehensible self-admission of blaming absolutely everything on another group of people (whether it makes any sense or not), I'm still confused how that led to Freud being mentioned. Was this a completely random segue, or had he been mentioned earlier in the program? I mean, I have an awful lot of disrespect for Freud myself, but what the hell? Psychiatry isn't even the name of the scientific field... it's like saying "Man, I hate Einstein. What did those engineers ever do to help us?" or "That Francis Crick was a bad man. Medical doctors should stop trying to do experiments to figure out how cells work." Not understanding the difference between a scientific discipline and a practical specialty is just the start of the ignorance...Mozglubovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803674886685831282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-30408326407837539712009-04-07T20:13:00.000-07:002009-04-07T20:13:00.000-07:00I think I haven't yet dropped my standard comment ...I think I haven't yet dropped my standard comment on "Judeo-Christian" on this blog yet, so here goes.
