As you state it, I think that is a wonderful idea.  However, certain modes
of teaching such as creationism are banned from the classroom.  Science is
as much a religion.  It is the profound indoctrination that makes it seem
not.

I am in complete agreement with that statement.

I do not think we have a problem with ignoring, just misusing

I guess it would depend on how you define a revolution.  Any drastic change
in direction could be considered a mini revolution in my book.  If you have
a problem with Victorianism, please tell me why.  I'm listening.

You are also sqwualking typical talk-radio soundbites, so what?

[Mark's reply]
Yes it is an ideological weapon, beware of ideologies.  This nation is
becoming a bunch of sniveling victims, it is really sad to see; and the
lawyers make so much money.  By the way, be careful, there is always the
libel threat.

Typically I am very direct and do not resort to PC.  Of course if I am in an
interview with a retard, I will not mention it.  I do not have time to have
a gripe with somebody who is different.  So there you pinko left-wing
nutjob!  And I haven't even started on jo'mama.

Cheers,
Mark
