Texans are so stupid we can’t even compose a simple yet cogent paradigm for our own existence without invoking a First Cause.

Well, I guess I”ll get back on my tractor and find some road kill for dinner and then watch HeeHaw reruns til the Jack Daniel’s kicks-in. I hope I don’t fall asleep with a cigarette in my mouth again. Maw had to call the far-deepartmeeant las time.

BTW – Matt, I really appreciate your stand on teaching critical thinking skills. That is surely one of the MOST important lessons our children should learn. They should also learn
to engage in a civil discourse and debate regarding an issue rather than gathering together in one place to see who can create the biggest playground insult against someone “different,” even “handicapped” or “special.”

For those who really want to get the word (oops!) out, please find someone who knows the subject matter you are trying to disprove. try http://www.reasons.org. They will be most happy to engage you in scientific and logical debate.

Otherwise, go outside and play and leave the debate to the scholars, or to the children who are being taught, in Texas, to use critical thinking skills, rather than goose-stepping along with either side in this “conflict of ignorance.”

BTW – I’ll take my chances with God, as did Blaise Pascal. If he exists, I’ll meet Him one day. And if he doesn’t, I won’t. Nothing will have mattered in the long run. If there is no God, there is no reason for you to argue against one, because, ultimately, it just doesn’t matter. Nothing does.

But if Pascal was right…I’ll be thinking about you, and wishing you were there.

Peace,
from an old guy…uh, and a teacher….I guess I should’ve mentioned that.
