Its official...
... America is the stupidest country in the world. A recent poll found that 55% of Americans believe in Creationism, 65% want Creationism taught along with Evolution, and 35% want only Creationism taught. Ok, either you learn the Bill of Rights and the Constitution or you can't vote. It seems the concept of seperation of church and state, one of the very principals this country was founded upon, is lost on the people that want creationism or intelligent design taught in schools. But at least something is being done about this. Some parents in Pennsylvania are suing the school board over their decision to teach "intelligent" design alongside evolution in the class room. Evolution deals with monkeys and apes, which are about 300 times stronger than humans. Evolution better fucking win. Anyway, these parents are being represented by the ACLU, because the teaching of intelligent design is a violation of the separation of chruch and state. The school board is being represented by the Thomas More Law center, a Michigan based non profit orginazation which says it uses litigation to promote "the religious freedom of Christians and time-honored family values."
Wait a minute....WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!! I have a few things to say about this. Firstly, it seems to me that "religious freedom" for these "Christians" means religious intolerance for anyone else. They walk around saying that they are being discriminated against, and that they are loosing their way of life. To that I say fuck you. You wanna know who's being discriminated against? Anyone who looks like they might be from an area around the middle east. Basically, me. I get stopped at airports all the time, I get my slippers and belt X-rayed, I get my bag searched, and I get frisked by sexually frustrated old ladies. I actually find it all quite amusing, because it just shows how much the terrorists "haven't changed our way of life".
Secondly, why is the school board, a GOVERNMENT organization, being represented by a christian law firm? Why is the government trying to preserve the "Christian way of life"? By using their logic, I should sue the government because I am trying to preserve the liberal way of life. I don't see where conservatives get their arguments on social issues. As a liberal, I am trying to give people MORE freedom socially. After all, America is the land of "freedom", isen't it? Conservatives are trying to take away peoples rights, all so they can preserve "their way of life", because God knows that two guys making out in San Francisco is going to affect a family of four in Kansas.
