re: #16 Targetpractice

Okay, that bit of “wisdom” just made my head hurt. It sincerely sounds to me like somebody trying to sound smart and “scientific” and simply sounding like a well-educated idiot instead.

One of my classmates today was telling the story of how her sister went to college out at a small school in East Texas and in her college biology course, the professor had to explain evolution as something entirely new to the world, because the schools in the area didn’t teach it.

This was just a couple of years ago. The kids in my classmate’s sister’s class were in college, had never been exposed to Darwin, and reacted accordingly. They thought the whole thing was bullshit. That scares me. WTF. How the hell are we supposed to compete in terms of math, science, and technology in the world if basic science like evolution just will not be accepted by people?
