Care to cite some area of science or mathematics that I don't
understand, you utter imbecile.

Oh, I know.  I should read more Montesquieu.

You know, morons like yourself, on the left, Brett, are no more useful
than the morons on the right.  Just a different set of
oversimplifications, errors, and "heros".

Life is complex, moron.  Takes some experience, brains and toughness
to understand it.  Quite obviously, you have none of the above.
