I live here and I had no idea it was so bad (even though my novel-in-progress is called "Creation Science", and I've been studying up on this craziness). Although 3/4 of the USA is retrograde nuts, there are still tens of millions of sane American people. If you associate with them, mostly, you tend to lose sight of what a small minority you are. Overall, however, that's a very depressing article. jrs
