That giant sucking sound....

.....is the seeds of reason being flushed down a toilet of ignorance and fanaticism.

Thats right....

Its election time for the Kansas State Board of Education; bastion of scientific discovery 'from a Christian perspective.' The newspaper today, quoting one board member said, "Ms. Morris, a retired teacher and author, said she did not believe in evolution.“It’s a nice bedtime story,” she said. “Science doesn’t back it up.”"

No wonder the students of every other industialized country in the world kick our butts in science and math: We teach fairy tales.

Great guns!
