well i saw in this morning's paper that the anti-evolution whackos are still trying to fuck up Texas' 2004 science textbooks...the Discovery Institute, a group opposed to the teaching of evolution in public schools, is claiming a minor victory, because they manged to harass the book publisher to make changes in the sections dealing with the theory of evolution...they of course are not satisfied, and if they had their way all mention of evolution would be remove entirely...the changes were part of a list of inacuracies found through their Center For Science And Culture, which is based in Seattle...while i am all for factual errors being corrected, i wonder why the Texas board of education considers input from people in Seattle...last time i checked Seattle was in Washington, not in Texas, so where it concerns textbooks used in Texas, who the fuck cares what they think...i am amazed at how many people in this country insist on ignoring science in favor of blind faith and ignorance...mind you i am not saying people of religious faith are ignorant, but the ones who insist on trying to drag us all badck into the dark ages sure the fuck are...my sincere hope is that someone invents a time machine, so we can send you all back to the dark ages where you belong.
