Only 9% accept the Darwinian view. Ah, but that was all the way back in 1993! Since then, the "Media- Driven" theory of creation has swept the US by storm. A whopping 86% of Americans now believe that the human race was originally created by the major TV networks *only last year* in a vain attempt to boost their sagging Fall ratings. The number of Darwinians in the US, meanwhile, has been reduced to me, Eddie Tews, and an unemployed woman in Arizona named Wendy. On a more serious note: For some reason, reading that post made me suddenly realize what Killing Joke must have meant by the song title used as the subject tag of this message. So... any fegs in the Phoenix area (possibly including Wendy) who'd care to recommend a record store or two? I'm going to be there the first half of next week... I already have a map... John H.
