Some people are astonished/disconcerted that powerful people/entities
aren't always [or often] truthful. Of course, I don't remember seeing
anything in the US or Calif constitutions requiring honesty/trughfulness
of govt operatives. Yes, they may be required to swear [or affirm] to
"faithfully execute" their office. But the populace always seems to
like having ruthless, devious SOBs "faithfully executing" whatever they
can/want/will, in order to get the job done. The propriety of any
specific method of "execution" is always a political matter.

Messiah means "annointed one." Messiahs are annointed with oil. Oil
is flammable. Messiahs burn. Those around them burn. The logic is
irrefutable. Follow a messiah - get crispy-crittered. Yow.

Who deserve all the encouragement they can get, IMHO. But I digress.

Social evolution, maybe. Remember that cognition/intelligence is
only about 30% inheritable -- so, just because stupid people may die
before they can breed, doesn't mean that following generations will
be any more intelligent. And just because dummies breed, DOESN'T
mean that their kids will necessarily be as stupid as they.

Those prattling about "theory" vs fact should attend to the definition
of "scientific theory" - "a workable explanation supported by the
preponderence of data." A useful theory is falsifiable and testable -
notions of creationism aren't.

We've known that for a LONG time, M.A.!!
