Do you take yourself seriously? I mean after typing the above, can you?
Like your "clarification" made any difference to anything at all?

Obviously not to you and a few others. And you're perfectly entitled to
be as wrong as you decide to be.

That said, I agree that people should be "taught" about both,
as well as about religion. I don't think "intelligent design" is the
way life came about and evolution is the more-reasonable explanation,
but I'm certainly aware of both, and I'd make sure my children were as
well. And I think you'll find that most voters would want their kids as
well-educated as possible, and many of those would truly believe that
intelligent design is the more-reasonable explanation.

So let's say clearly what you mean: to be well educated you must be
"informed about" ID.

Is that what I mean? Well, thankfully, you're here to explain it...

I bet McCain never says that, ever ... I mean
they're kicking school boards out in that blue of blue states, Kansas
for pushing ID. What's sad is that McCain is pandering, but God knows
what you're doing. You may actually believe what you write.

Let me be clear: I've seen the greatest minds of my generation and they don't know
**** about Intelligent Design.

Well, sure, but one really shouldn't hold that against a bunch of 10
year old kids, no matter how much smarter they are than you...
