"autograph from the lead singer of Keane" WOW! That is awesome. I know he'll probably never hear this, but "Good One H!!!!"
"Ok, I'm off on the tangent again." Yeah, sorry I brought it up. I get steam out of my ears too when I hear people saying that scientists who teach the Big Bang or evolution are no better than pedophiles since they both are corrupting children.
I will say that I try to take a reasoned approach to the creation science side. I realize that most people who adhere to that philosophy really just have a lot of misunderstanding about science and scientific principles. Most of them are not bad or stupid, just misguided by the few overzealous folks that know how to say just the right words to convince them that science is evil.
The example I brought up about church ladies is an overgeneralization of an actual event that I had the misfortune to witness. I'm sure that the majority of church-goers are not so crass. I shouldn't try to paint with such broad strokes. Sorry to the church ladies out there.
"I think that would stress me out just thinking of the possibility." It does a lot.
Quote myself "My education is definitely an anomaly in my family." I hope no one took that to mean I think I am smarter than my brothers or parents. My older brother really didn't need to go on to do what he wanted to do, my younger brother is very smart but has some acute learing disabilities that prevent him from suceeding in a college atmosphere, and my youngest brother just made some poor choices that his rectifying now. He may be the next to get a graduate degree and I hope he sticks with it.
