The Sadness of America

[Bekah]

Imo,  the sadness is more about what people do with their opinions of 
ID (or any of a whole lot of other things - like torture). 
Opinions are just opinions and can be argued forever.  The laws and 
regulations stemming from these opinions can be a lot more than words.

For instance,  in Bush's "opinion,"  torture is apparently okay.  In 
McCain's it's not.  I don't care about the opinions themselves; those 
folks can argue all day long and I don't care.  What I care about is 
the people in custody and what happens to them.  I care about the 
results of the opinions.

I'm not sure about ID.  In it's present form (an argument against 
something -  not much for) I don't think it should be "taught" in 
science classes but it could be mentioned in passing one time just to 
keep the natives happy.   (if that would do it)

more of a pragmatist  -  but it's sad where that has led us
