I don't know, Spike. If that was the case, people would also be
getting wise to the phony nonsense that religion feeds them, and
I don't see much evidence of that happening. I may be wrong, and
hope I am, but I'm skeptical of a large number of people
learning to be skeptical. Dumbness and gullibility seem to be as
widespread as ever (I wonder if there is some way of accurately
measuring this?).<br>
