It's clear, Vlad.

The founders didn't design America for your liking.

I understand that Aeroflot flies out of Dulles. Maybe there's a destination with an environment that you would prefer.

You might want to go too, T.B. Find some place where everyone's required to think the same way. Must drive you nuts, living in our little democracy here...

Not at all. I detest what the liberals have done to education in America, and the erosion of our basic freedoms by the courts, but that's no reason to give up.

What is at stake is a choice betweeen freedom and tyranny. It's that simple.

What is going on right now might be correctly referred to as a juristocracy.

The liberals aren't the ones trying to get books of the Bible into biology classes...

Both sides, libs and cons, are equally harmful to education. If there is any part of our society that needs balance, this is it.

You mean that taking one week in a 12 week biology class to study creationism wouldn't be balanced?

well, our beloved French are on to it

Chirac bans all religious garb in public schools

In my opinion, the study of creationism, being based on mythology and not provable via science to any degree ... would be kinda out of place, wouldn't it? Wouldn't that fit better in a religious studies class er sump'n? I'm not arguing for or against, but I don't think Physical Science class is the place for debating cultural superstitions. Socialogy maybe?

Let's not forget how we drove off American manufacturing to the third world by means of mimium wage laws and the EPA.

The market wages in the United States for the jobs you refer to are already above the minimum wage. Not a valid argument. You should blame our standard of living instead.

There's balance and there's reality. We don't teach our children about astrology in Science classes. Why should Biology classes cover Bible passages?

Now the Taliban incorporated a lot of religious teachings in their educational system...such as it was. Maybe that'd suit you better.
