### Seriously? So we, the good people paying taxes and contributing to
learned societies so that a bit of science could be done are "colonial
expropriators"? The fuckwit assholes who use the weaknesses of our legal
system to extort money under the guise of protecting religious feelings are
the "underdog"? And you applaud it when the greatness of the Western
civilization, the wondrous quest for truth is being trampled by a coalition
of stone age crooks and politically correct liberal elite crooks?

Well, I am... disappointed, for lack of a better word.
