beanstalk, I'm simply saying, add something worthy, rather than regurgitating what the media calls news. Thus far, I see mostly the so called news without much opinion from the posters.

That's an O'reilly-ism. Yes, please stop using that. I've actually met people who use words like popinjay and bloviate too.

I can't think of a single poster who would be so stupid and of such a simple mind to actually listen to the crap O'Reilly delivers each night, can you? :roll:

No, God doesn't need to because there is no such thing as a zombie. They are a man made concept created to scare people into behaving a certain way. But because so many people have believed in zombies over time there is still a large number who believe in zombies. Er, wait. Maybe I mean God. I get confused...
Actually Geo, there is a real foundation that the zombie mythology is based upon. Here is an interesting article regarding real zombies and with Halloween coming up, its very timely! lol I will leave the God mythology for another day I think... ;-)
"Most of the historical research of zombie comes where they have originated, the Caribbean island of Haiti. The original type of real zombies are people who were manipulated by some kind of drug created by a voodoo priest and used as slave labor.The best documented case was by Edmund Wade Davis a noted anthropologist, ethnobotanist, author and photographer whose work has focused on worldwide indigenous cultures, especially in North and South America and particularly involving the traditional uses and beliefs associated with psychoactive plants. Dr. Wade Davis had been intrigued with a man named Clairvius Narcisse a man supposedly had temporarily become a zombie slave and after many years recovered his memory to tell about it."

Also, here is another paper with a more scientific angle on the subject:
"In 1985, Harvard University botanist Wade Davis traveled to Haiti in search of the poison powder called coupe poudre, allegedly used to cause the death-like trance state induced in the process of zombification. His sponsors believed that if such a drug existed it would have valuable pharmacological usage. He published the results of his findings in two books The Serpent and the Rainbow (1985), and Passage of Darkness: The Ethnobiology of the Haitian Zombie (1988). In essence, Davis claimed that yes, there are indeed "zombies," and that they are created, at least in part, by a poisonous powder. But, Davis maintains that the poison in and of itself is not enough to create a zombie, rather that "set and setting" must be taken into account (2). This is the distinction that defines the field of ethnobiology, the idea that physical, social and psychological settings inform biological interactions."

So the zombie movie "The Serpent and the Rainbow" was loosely based on this as well!

Watching O'reilly is like taking a college course in critical thinking. I used to watch it, and now I feel like I have a Phd. in WTF. Enough is enough. I think for me the body English chick was the last straw.
Does she still make appearances?I can't think of a single poster who would be so stupid and of such a simple mind to actually listen to the crap Olby delivers each night, can you?
