Common Lisp or Scheme?

I'm going to get some basics on functional programming. But there are too fucking many LISP dialects. I know all in all it's all the same shit, but between the two, which one should I use for these little studies?

(And yes, SICP is part of them)

That is what wrong with Lisps. They try to hide low level details, instead of embracing them and build directly on top of assembly language

That's exactly what's RIGHT about Lisps. Also, you realize that there used to be Lisp Machines right?

This worship of hardware is really harmful. "Worship" really is the right word too: hardware can do no wrong, we must all adjust our behavior and designs to hardware.

I'd rather worship the customer.

Also CL totally has pointers. cons cells are structs with two pointers in them. Fucking C-tards.
