?Religion is the opiate of the masses??- Karl Marx
Truer words have never been spoken. Rather than cloud my mind with this religious insanity?I think I?ll get some dirty needles and go out on a real heroin binge.
It will have the same effect.
Happy Easter

Every time I see that Marx quote, I think about the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon, where he and Hobbes are reading it in a book:
Calvin: Hobbes, what does it mean when it says "Religion is the opiate of the Masses"?
The Television (in a thought balloon): It means Karl Marx hadn't seen anything yet...
Of course, Bill Watterson, the creator of that wonderful strip would have to change it to have the TV be the Internet...
