03/02/2004: "Stop the dinosaur insanity"

This dinosaur stuff has gone too far. Parents everywhere take comfort in the fact that their kids (well, mostly boys) are INTERESTED in dinosaurs and LEARNING about nature and science and blah blah blah.
News flash: there never was such a thing as dinosaurs. They're made up, like dragons and unicorns. Some scientists got together and concocted the greatest fraud perpetrated on the American public since well I don't know what.
And even if they ARE real, and there really WERE dinosaurs, it's a waste of time. How about kids learn about whales, tornadoes, sharks, dogs, outer space, airplanes, the rotary engine, ANYTHING that will be useful in our lifetimes. This dinosaur stuff is a cop-out -- they look like monsters, so boys like 'em, and away we go, an educational fraud if there ever was one.
