""Both books, on the dispute we've been having here (the main one, that is) were quite disturbing in revealing the lengths to which state authorities in the US will go to make sure that young people have no exposure to the teaching of evolution.""

It would appear that while the US Military Industrial Complex is busy bombing large parts of the Third World back to the Stone Age, a sizeable section of its population is intent upon achieving the same result at home by use of religious fervour.

Judging by history, if they succeed they will be far worse than the Taliban or the Ayatollahs. After all, they've had two thousand years to practice and the Roman role model for dealing with dissent.

Yet there are still people on this forum, and others, who regard them as harmless fruit loops, not worth challenging.

Go figure!
