A Response to the Exchange of Ideas

Clipped (without permission) from a longer email from Lucky Lestrud:

I read some of your blog and have to make some comments about A Respectful Exchange of Ideas . First off, has anyone asked the monkeys what they think? It would be interesting to know if they believe in creation or evolution. They always seem to be at the center of the discussion, but no one ever gets their opinion on it. If I had to make a guess I would say that they believe in creation, or that they want to believe in creation. They probably get tired of being called the "grandparents" of the human race. It's like someone always reminding you that you have a bastard child. People should quit dragging the monkeys into this argument all the time before they develop a complex, if they havn't already! (I could have swore that I saw the monkeys in the last National Geographic episode wearing necklaces with crosses on them.)
