[Noisebridge-discuss] Science for Juggalos

[Rev. Dan]

Has anyone considered the fact that more effort has been spent  
discussing this that will likely be spent thinking, at all, by folks  
who reject science in favor of willfull ignorance?

I think the only real evangelism that can/ could happen would  
essentially just be preaching to the choir.  It sounds like this could  
be fun for its own sake; but having expectations beyond dressing up  
and having a good time might be not be all that reasonable.

I'd be willing to wager that ICP wrote the song to be gratuitously  
controversial (ala GG Allin) and might well find the whole thing to be  
entertaining.  (OMG, look at these "smart" people pissing themselves  
'cause of our stupid song... bwuahahah... Woot, free publicity!)

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't convince him to do algebra.
