As for the Kansas School Board - I'd love to see current evolution theory taught in the schools instead of the tripe that is being taught now.

Here in the US they are a fairly large, and very vocal minority who have learned to organized and have every intention of taking over the schools. Colonize the future in other words. larry On Thu, 24 Feb 2005 08:36:30 -0600, G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Christians are being silenced and persecuted in this country? > > This guy is a nut. > > But hey, I just read the good news today: the Kansas Board of Uneducation is > putting evolution on trial!
