Today’s IDAM: SANCTION
(Well, Sanction is a form of diplomacy, so we’ll count that one as a “Talk” result)
IRAN SCORE: 5 Bomb, 6 Talk
Too bad the Iranian President is totally loco en la cabasa.
Suicide bomb goes off outside a Mosque where faction leaders were trying to resolve their differences. Car bomb goes off killing 28 people and wounding 100 others. Meanwhile, Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki is telling the US to both piss off and to stick around a little while longer. Yeah, absolutely nothing bad happening in Iraq this week (/sarcasm).
The GOP hates non-white people. The President hates poor people (especially poor kids).
The European Union shows some actual political progress – they are considering banning the teaching of Creationism in schools. Since it is mostly bullshit concocted by religious groups.
I’m not sure banning creationism is really a good idea. That will give its adherents fodder for the “we’re oppressed!” line.
Much better to convince everyone sane that the Creationists are just idiots.
Just banning it from being taught in public schools. Which is okay by me. If you want your kid to learn Creationism, send them to a private, religion funded school instead.
I do agree that kids should understand what Creationism is in the broad sense. Just that Creationism is not scientifically proven by any means.
