Letters to the Editor

Ah, yes, faith again.
Yup, Bush is crazy, but he has been since day one of the 2000 Presidential campaign. All it took was paying attention to him -- not what he said (even Reagan could read a speech) but what he did. The slightest bit of research turned up gems like Karla Faye and others on death row in Texas.
But Amurricans wanted a man of faith. Any man of faith should be disqualified de facto from serving in any capacity in public life. The practice of believing things on no evidence carries over with catastrophic results.
The only quibble I have with the article was the nonsensical "Of course, there are millions of deeply religious people whose faith has not led them to abandon reason."
One CANNOT have faith and reason at the same time. Sorry. Everyone wants to believe that, and they do believe it, but it's not reasonable to believe it.
