Kansas Protest
"This doesn't mean that students in Kansas or elsewhere shouldn't be
taught about evolution. In context, the Kansas action was a protest
against enshrining a particular worldview as a scientific fact and
against making "evolution" an exception to the usual American tradition
that the people have a right to disagree with the experts. Take
evolution away from the worldview promoters and return it to the real
scientific investigators, and a chronic social conflict will become an
exciting intellectual adventure."

Thanks, but we have all the excitement we can handle what with
protowhales and midget men literally (OK...figuratively) jumping
out of the Earth to be studied.

Have you drunk from the sea yet, LIARS?

Is "drinking out of the seas" some kind of slur somewhere that
I don't know about? Sure, getting a gulp of salt water is no fun,
but I can think of worse things.

I cussed you OUT and said, If you don't like it go and drink
from the sea.
I know you don't like, but the sea is still there,
so what do you think you can do to me?

Zing! That was harsh! Stop!

Apparently, though, it DOES mean that, in the religion of this person,
students in Kansas should be taught LIES about evolution. When a
religion starts teaching false doctrines like this and when that religion
calls itself Christian, then *I* call it heresy. It is heresy, not
because it is teaching a literal interpretation of Genesis but because it
is teaching its devotees to lie in God's name.

If America teaches its children that lying in God's name is OK, they are
apt to wonder which other sins in the ten commandments are all right to
commit in God's name, are they not? Perhaps they may fall prey to the
teachings of people who fly airplanes full of people into buildings full
of people. After all, they are taught to MURDER in God's name. That's
on the same list with lying isn't it?

In keeping with our tradition, I disagree with the experts. 1 + 1 now
equals 3. I expect this to be taught in all math classes from now on.
Failure to do so will constitute a violation of American tradition and
my rights.
