With the dumbing down of education and politics and the rise of the new priests of the green god, the god of offense and the god of “health” – who have all demanded that the scientific method, facts and truth be perverted and sacrificed upon their altars the endarkenment is surely upon us. What is the endarkenment I imagine I hear you cry, why I shall tell you, it’s the undoing of the progress we’ve made since the enlightenment, the slow dimming and putting out of the lights of scientific rigor, debate and truth. What value truth if it offends, what value science if it goes against the consensus! Burn it all these new priests say, if it doesn’t serve our gods then out with it.
I used to wonder from time to time, if this view wasn’t a little pessimistic, if perhaps things weren’t that bad. Sadly today that spark of hope as been extinguished. As you may have noticed I’ve been invovled with a little protest movement against the new puritans who’d destroy our freedoms and in looking around at what the opposition are doing, I came across proof that the fear of the new endarkenment are far too well founded. The bloated new theocracy are only going and selling bloody indulgences!!

At least we’ll be able to generate cheap power by hooking Martin Luther’s corpse up to a dynamo, but whose door do we nail our 95 theses to?
