(Great clue word scrambling.  I had a little trouble getting “effort”, and as it turns out we’ve had the jumble “fertof” before!  The answer letter layout was pretty impressive.  The answer itself was pretty simple though.  I guess a lot of the shooting events have people of all types.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Cryptoquote Spoiler – 07/28/12

 

 

English: Richard Dawkins at New York City’s Cooper Union to discuss his book The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 

“By all means let’s be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.”   —   Richard Dawkins

 

(I find it so ironic that this quote is so heavily used as a retort, by mainly the religious right – the less open-minded, towards liberals – the more open-minded.  Mr. Dawkins is a well known critic of creationism and intelligent design.  He is a humanist and an evolutionary biologist.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
