The United States of America. Wilfully ignorant since 1776.

So, not only has the State of Tennessee passed resolutions preventing any teaching that humanity descended from the apes, it appears that members of their state legislature may now have been overtaken by them.

I would prefer to annex Tennessee, thanks. Not everyone is a drooling moron here - just the government officials.

I know; I wouldn't have Americans on my chums list if you all were :)

However, it was a fine opportunity for a cheap shot.

I'm shocked and stunned that you would take a cheap shot at Americans, you wanker. :-P

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Why, come over here and say that!

Actually, what a good idea...

Working on it...

Cheap shots indeed. Aren't legislators like this the reason our American friends are allowed guns? No jury would convict.

Directly and physically.

I think it's perfectly fine and fair of them to charge raging homosexuals like myself with 'crimes against nature'. I'd be quite willing to subject myself to any trial in which Mother Nature herself was called in as an expert witness for the prosecution in order to secure the conviction.

Yeah, I'm a bitch.

I wouldn't want any school to teach that humanity descended from the apes, since as far as we know it's not true (http://www.mnh.si.edu/anthro/humanorigins/ha/primate.html).

Not a bitch, just a pedant...

Austalopithicines then, not true apes...
