I'd like to know how it was that lepricrons built Mt Rushmore
since we must ignore the human intelligent designer who thought
such a vision of creativity. I just don't get how an educated
people can believe that all some shalaton has to do is rockup with
some empty promise of wisdom and have government time and
funds spent on their pet theory of intelligent design being
taught to the kids of america. I suppose in the same way
that a womens life must be ignored by those who claim to
defend life (i.e. not of the mother but of the maybe
never born foetus). Conservatives are robbers. They will
still anything to keep the status quo. It happens everytime
there is massive change afoot.
