Unproven? Hell no.
Unpopular? Well, maybe so. But that has zero bearing on it's validity.

I thought that's what universities do ... introduce conflicting views. Oh, well, I know how I would respond to Rep. Hamilton.

Rebecca Hamilton, the only reason I remember that twit is because she got in a righteous huff when she found out someone was going around pretending to be her during an election year and having the audacity to lie by saying she was against prayer in school. Yeah, when I found out ol' Becky was all in favor of prayer in school it cost her my vote. |

What the hell? I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around this. So, a well-known academic comes to speak at a university... and the university wanted him not to come? And now they're investigating the university for spending too much time promoting the talk? o.0 What? I don't get it. I can't believe that there are people this STUPID. So much for separation of church and State--and we wonder why America is the running joke of the whole fucking planet. Well not quite, the university wanted him to speak. The problem is that some of the legislators got pissed off. First their excuse was that tax payer money was being spent on it, until it was revealed not only did he not accept any compensation, but actually put money into the state. I think now they're trying some sort of academic freedom bullshit (fundies and irony don't mix). Wait a minute- Dawkins paid THEM and now they're complaining that the university spent too much money on this? What? I've always known fundie logic was different from regular logic, but this takes the cake. What the hell? |

I think those of you in OK should write and demand that your state legislature provide you with documentation of how much time and money was spent on this investigation and by which legislators, and what portion of their salary it represents.
It's only fair, after all.
