a quote for seppo troll Janitor

[Nomen Nescio]

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' Isaac Asimov

Democracy guarantees that rule of inferiors.

That's one reason America's Founding Fathers rejected democracy and chose a
republic.

Seems it is now like the Fall of Rome
With the takeover by a barbarian soldier on
The Forth of September, In the year of our Lord
Four hundred and seventy six.

What perfect set of circumstances placed our Sun a
Celestial ball of fire at just the correct distance
from our little blue planet for life to evolve?
All simply conicidence?
The very fact we exist is nothing but the result of a
complex yet inevitable string of chemical accidents
and biological mutations?
There is no Grand meaning? There is no purpose?

If gravity was slightly more powerful
the universe would collapse into a bowl!
If gravity was less powerful the universe would fly apart,
there would be no stars no planets!

Gravity is precisely as strong as it needs to be!
If the ratio of the electromagnetic force to the
strong force wasn't 1% life wouldn't exist!

All the accepted physics constants are derived from careful experiments
done by keen and honest scientists. They show the design of the universe
up to a point. There is no question thus of any constant being anything
else!
