Today is Rachel Carson's birthday. If you don't know it already, Rachel Carson was the author of Silent Spring, a book so powerfully and persuasively written it is credited as a catalyst for the environmental and conservation movements.
Reading about her -- even just the Wikipedia entry -- is an interesting thing. She did a lot in a relatively short life. (She died of cancer at 58.)
What really twists my titty, though, is this. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson -- in a letter to President Dwight D. Eisenhower -- reportedly concluded that because she was unmarried despite being physically attractive, she was "probably a Communist".
I hate stupid people. All of them.

If it weren't for stupid people you wouldn't have a job or realize how incredibly smart those you love are. So shut up, be handsome and whisper "there but for the grace of g-d..."
WTF does being unmarried have to do with being a communist?
benson was a mormon. eisenhower was a redumblican. go figure.
problem is, there are more and more stupid people breeding more and more stupid people every single second. I weep for those of us that have intelligence...
