    The Best Thing

    for creationist nitwits IS that a debate goes on. This topic shows us how the discourse in this country- on sooo many issues- has been hijacked by a minority who realize they can play the press and get equal time to promote their agenda; thereby legitimatizing their neanderthal (LOL) viewpoints.

    The defense in Dover(Harrisburg) DID NOT CARE if they lost. Losing let's you appeal to an ever higher court. You know; the one which is stacked with appointees???? (Yeah, THAT one).

    I was struck tonight by the balance of play ABC tried to give the issue (I watch the networks for the comedy value). While mainly negative, the coverage ended with a scratching head coda of "hmmmm, maybe there is something to this movement". Wow.

    How DOES a minority control the debate? Think about the Right's position on healthcare, social security, participation in global climate agreements, torture, spying on citizens. ALL losers for the court of public opinion; but boistered by fear of the "next threat comming in the form of a mushroom cloud".

    LOL
