Too Far Out
CWRE considers the following myths to be sufficiently whacked that they are low on the priority list for refuting:
- Evolution is a lie. / The Earth is 6,000 years old. / Humans have no genetic relationship to monkeys. -- see Issuepedia
- Public assistance is like slavery. [2]
- Homosexuality is bad.
- Glen Cauthon: "Media making it appear so "Natural" and bombarding us with homosexuality every day..in sports, in politics, in movies. They want a generation of homosexual children who will not breed. And it's even more than that. The "population explosion problem" is just a hoax. It's not even believed by those who started it. Only by the dip-sticks in Congress and people like Ted Turner, Bill Gates, Oprah "Bells In Her Fry" Winfrey and so on....and take a good look at those rich men and women."
- Myth: global warming is about increasing government control.
- See comment here -- "Global warming is now relabeled as climate change but it's always been about more government control. Bernie's policies of coercive energy restrictions will further drive this country into depression. Energy is what allows us to be more productive and debate over the internet instead of digging for grubs for sustenance."
