The Bush War on Reason
Via Boing Boing:
Personally I find these types of maneuvers by the Bush Christian Army to be the most disturbing. The poison of faith based religions marches on.
"The education official responsible for the science curriculum in the state of Texas resigned last month saying she was forced to step down after being reprimanded for informing colleagues of a talk on the conflict over the teaching of evolution. Christine Castillo Comer, former Director of Science in the curriculum division of the Texas Education Agency, forwarded several colleagues an email notice of a upcoming talk by Barbara Forrest, co-author of the book "Creationism's Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent Design." Castillo Comer's supervisor said the email was grounds for termination as the 'FYI' email "implies endorsement of the speaker and implies that TEA endorses the speaker's position on a subject on which the agency must remain neutral."

Never been to Texas but I believe that's one of the best places in the world to actually see that we are not that far from apes.
Well..I'm not gonna talk overt shit about Texas. In many ways it's a beautiful state and I've met many a nice person there.
Sadly the religious world view has only one demographic: Our brains.
Now get on your knees, face Mecca, light some little Menorah candles and fire up the Christian guilt generator. God is on our side!
isn't music a form of Religion?
This New Years Eve i plan to get on my feet, face Les, light up a major'ah splife and exodus my brain.

Well usa seems pretty black and white to many who live here.
I believe Texas has pretty many banjo masters and I want to jam with them someday. Like an ape!
