Domino's Delivers Distortion!


If you believe that kids need more science and less exposure to the lies and distortions based in religious idiocy, then stop buying pizza from Domino's. I haven't eaten a piece from Domino's since I delivered for those sons-of-bitches back in the 80's. I quit when I realized that my hard work and the destruction of my car were financing endeavors that I deplore. It turns out that Tom Monaghan, Domino's founder and CEO, is a complete jesus crispy and a right-wing goof. He is an anti-abortion activist and a societal engineer wannabe. In fact, he will finance a new university in Florida and adjacent town where there'll be no condoms and television. More on this in the near future.

I'll first give him credit where due. He is a wealthy pizza magnate that could pocket all of his cash. However, he performs an admirable amount of philanthropy. For this he should be commended, in general. If he wants to fund directives to limit adults' access to contraception then that is his twisted prerogative.

Now he has crossed the line. He founded the Thomas More Legal Centre, an organization that is out of it's mind. They feel that Christians are "under attack" because the courts have decided that religious stuff like the Ten Commandments does not belong in schools. They are against distribution of 'morning after' contraception (actually all contraception), human stem cell research and they certainly don't like the homos. A complete list is here .

It is a private organization, so they can do what they want and I really don't care. However, they have now crossed the line. It turns out that the Thomas More Legal Centre now is at the centre of the Intelligent Design (ID) movement, a crackpot scheme set to undermine the fundamental basis of scientific teachings. Essentially, ID supporters promote a theory that life is too complex to have happened on its own, so a magical entity must have started it. It is Creationism-lite, and claims to be a competing "theory" against evolution.

However, the legal experts of TMLC fail to realize that what they promote is not science, as it is not testable. It is an opinion, an unprovable philosophy that may be right, may be wrong, we'll never know. This watered down christian distortion cannot be taught as hard science.

You wonder why our kids are last in science and math in the developed world? They are getting their information from the wrong big thick book. Don't support this crap with your valuable pizza dollars.


Pizza is cooler than Jesus!

as a native detroiter, I can testify to the fact that the former Tigers owner has gotten progressively more wierd as the years have gone by. But don't boycott Domino's because of it. He sold his interest in it years ago. boycott it because the pizza sucks.
