However, certain modes of teaching such as creationism are banned from the classroom. Science is as much a religion.

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. > > [Mark] > Sqwauk, squauk.

It was GOOD. > [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.

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.
