Texas's new Secretary of Education is a staunch creationist; and the 
legislature of NC recently voted to cut assistance programs to needy 
students wanting to attend state universities, but boosted funds to Bob 
Jones University by more than $2 million.

Science is not open to referendum. What that means, of course, is that 
the technological success of the US is doomed.
