Woohoo! Anti-evolution textbook stickers ruled illegal!
"Jan. 13, 2005 | Atlanta -- A federal judge on Thursday ordered the removal of stickers placed in high school biology textbooks that call evolution "a theory, not a fact," saying they were an unconstitutional endorsement of religion."

I'm gettin sick of it all tho... If country wants to be stupid - as evidenced by how hard they're fighting for it, I say let em. Let the best and the brightest no longer come from America. Let em come from China and India. We still have more nukes than all of them combined, after all...

4. This is kind of unrelated but
I live on the military base by Colorado Springs, an extremely conservative area I've found out. Anyway, while driving through CO Springs yesterday there was a billboard for a college hockey team and it said in big letters, "EVOLUTION". It cracked me up to think what the evangelicals were thinking every time they pass those signs.
