>I might suppose that a lot of people in the US are batshit-insane, but there has to be a reason for all that lunacy. Peter Medawar addressed this[0] quite some time ago: "The USA is so enormous, and so numerous are its schools, colleges and religious seminaries, many devoted to special religious beliefs ranging from the unorthodox to the dotty, that we can hardly wonder at its yielding a more bounteous harvest of gobbledygook than the rest of the world put together." That sort of stuff just breeds magical thinking, conspiracy theories and all manner of other sorts of malarkey, hogwash, balderdash and hooey.
