		<description>Whoever we are&lt;br /&gt;
Wherever we&#039;re from&lt;br /&gt;
We shoulda noticed by now&lt;br /&gt;
Our behavior is dumb&lt;br /&gt;
And if our chances&lt;br /&gt;
Expect to improve&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s gonna take a lot more&lt;br /&gt;
Than tryin&#039; to remove&lt;br /&gt;
The other race&lt;br /&gt;
Or the other whatever&lt;br /&gt;
From the face&lt;br /&gt;
Of the planet altogether&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They call it THE EARTH&lt;br /&gt;
Which is a dumb kinda name&lt;br /&gt;
But they named it right&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;Cause we behave the same...&lt;br /&gt;
We are dumb all over&lt;br /&gt;
Dumb all over,&lt;br /&gt;
Yes we are&lt;br /&gt;
Dumb all over,&lt;br /&gt;
Near &#039;n far&lt;br /&gt;
Dumb all over,&lt;br /&gt;
Black &#039;n white&lt;br /&gt;
People, we is not wrapped tight&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nurds on the left&lt;br /&gt;
Nurds on the right&lt;br /&gt;
Religous fanatics&lt;br /&gt;
On the air every night&lt;br /&gt;
Sayin&#039; the Bible&lt;br /&gt;
Tells the story&lt;br /&gt;
Makes the details&lt;br /&gt;
Sound real gory&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;Bout what to do&lt;br /&gt;
If the geeks over there&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t believe in the book&lt;br /&gt;
We got over here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can&#039;t run a race&lt;br /&gt;
Without no feet&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;n pretty soon&lt;br /&gt;
There won&#039;t be no street&lt;br /&gt;
For dummies to jog on&lt;br /&gt;
Or doggies to dog on&lt;br /&gt;
Religous fanatics&lt;br /&gt;
Can make it be all gone&lt;br /&gt;
(I mean it won&#039;t blow up&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;n disappear&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;ll just look ugly&lt;br /&gt;
For a thousand years...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can&#039;t run a country&lt;br /&gt;
By a book of religion&lt;br /&gt;
Not by a heap&lt;br /&gt;
Or a lump or a smidgeon&lt;br /&gt;
Of foolish rules&lt;br /&gt;
Of ancient date&lt;br /&gt;
Designed to make&lt;br /&gt;
You all feel great&lt;br /&gt;
While you fold, spindle&lt;br /&gt;
And mutilate&lt;br /&gt;
Those unbelievers&lt;br /&gt;
From a neighboring state&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TO ARMS! TO ARMS!&lt;br /&gt;
Hooray! That&#039;s great&lt;br /&gt;
Two legs ain&#039;t bad&lt;br /&gt;
Unless there&#039;s a crate&lt;br /&gt;
They ship the parts&lt;br /&gt;
To mama in&lt;br /&gt;
For souvenirs: two ears (Get Down)!&lt;br /&gt;
Not his, not hers, (but what the hey?)&lt;br /&gt;
The Good Book says:&lt;br /&gt;
(&quot;It gotta be that way!&quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
But their book says:&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;REVENGE THE CRUSADES...?&lt;br /&gt;
With whips &#039;n chains&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;n hand grenades...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
TWO ARMS? TWO ARMS?&lt;br /&gt;
Have another and another&lt;br /&gt;
Our God says:&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;There ain&#039;t no other!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Our God says&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;It&#039;s all okay!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Our God says&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;This is the way!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It says in the book:&lt;br /&gt;
Burn &#039;n destroy...&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;n repent, &#039;n redeem&lt;br /&gt;
?n revenge, &#039;n deploy&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;n rumble thee forth&lt;br /&gt;
To the land of the unbelieving scum on&lt;br /&gt;
the other side&lt;br /&gt;
Cause they don&#039;t go for what&#039;s in the&lt;br /&gt;
book&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;n that makes &#039;em BAD&lt;br /&gt;
So verily we must choppeth them up&lt;br /&gt;
And stompeth them down&lt;br /&gt;
Or rent a nice French bomb&lt;br /&gt;
To poof them out of existence&lt;br /&gt;
While leaving their real estate just where&lt;br /&gt;
we need it&lt;br /&gt;
To use again&lt;br /&gt;
For temples in which to praise&lt;br /&gt;
OUR GOD&lt;br /&gt;
(&quot;Cause he can really take care of&lt;br /&gt;
business!&quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And when his humble TV servant&lt;br /&gt;
With humble white hair&lt;br /&gt;
And humble glasses&lt;br /&gt;
And a nice brown suit&lt;br /&gt;
And maybe a blond wife who takes&lt;br /&gt;
phone calls&lt;br /&gt;
Tells us our God says&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s okay to do this stuff&lt;br /&gt;
Then we gotta do it,&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;Cause if we don&#039;t do it,&lt;br /&gt;
We ain&#039;t gwine up to *hebbin!*&lt;br /&gt;
(Depending on which book you&#039;re using&lt;br /&gt;
at the&lt;br /&gt;
time...Can&#039;t use theirs... it don&#039;t work&lt;br /&gt;
...it&#039;s all lies...Gotta use mine...)&lt;br /&gt;
Ain&#039;t that right?&lt;br /&gt;
That&#039;s what they say&lt;br /&gt;
Every night...&lt;br /&gt;
Every day...&lt;br /&gt;
Hey, we can&#039;t really be dumb&lt;br /&gt;
If we&#039;re just following *God&#039;s Orders*&lt;br /&gt;
Hey, let&#039;s get serious...&lt;br /&gt;
God knows what he&#039;s doin&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
He wrote this book here&lt;br /&gt;
An&#039; the book says:&lt;br /&gt;
?He made us all to be just like Him,&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
so...&lt;br /&gt;
If we&#039;re dumb...&lt;br /&gt;
Then God is dumb...&lt;br /&gt;
(An&#039; maybe even a little ugly on the side?)&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Crazy religious zealots in this country have nukes.  Who cares if Iran has them too?  Mutual assured destruction has worked well so far...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iran does not want nukes to help them destroy the &quot;infidels&quot;.  They want nukes as protection from the infidels, who have designs on thier resources. We haven&#039;t attacked North Korea...guess why...  </description>

		<description>The difference between a religion, a cult, and mythology is the number of people who belief it.  They&#039;re all primative in that they even entertain the concept, IMO.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what is primative?  Is it more primative to treat women like cattle, or is it more primative to maintain say that you have beliefs only to compromise them at the whim of the popular culture?  Sure, the second is progressive, which is better for more people, but it&#039;s not a shining example of a strong religion, as such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So primative, sophisticated?  Seems like a trick question.</description>
