I don't speak about politics too much (mostly because it's lame to talk about it on something like the ol' blogger-oo), but I heard about a certain vp candidate truly believing that dinosaurs existed 4,000 years ago (because that way it goes with the bible). Now being that I'm a teacher, I asked some of the "slower" students in class when dinosaurs were on earth. The answers: over 1 million years ago--then they went back to not knowing how to tie their shoes. 4,000 years? Really? Needless to say, that worries me a bit.....
So as I'm writing this, I got a phone call from a colleague to chat about the same person who believes in the dinosaurs, also tried to ban certain books in their home state. Now this I need to check into more, but anyone who tries to ban books is hurtful to enlightenment.
I wish I had more time to write, but papers, exams and other such paper by-products await.
I'm also pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but check out Awesome by Jack Pendarvis. It's one of the quirkiest books I've had the pleasure of reading.With that, I'm out. Go Cubs
