LiveJournal improvements

Can I just say that I REALLY REALLY REALLY love the new LJ Portal aka "My LJ"? Cuz I do. Those lucky paid members got to use it first, but in the last few days as I've started using it I've really grown fond of it. And now it's finally on the menu, too!

All of you, LOVE YOUR PORTAL! It's super useful! And rearrangeable, too. Sweet!

Chalk one up for Science

Well, even if Kansas would like to move backwards, at least Dover, Pennsylvania is doing better.

Dover has 9 school-board members. All of them supported "Intelligent Design" being taught in classrooms. Eight of them were up for re-election this week, and eight of them LOST.

Thank you, people of Dover, for caring enough about your children to allow them to learn how to think and question in a scientific way.

Here's a link to the USA Today story on it, but you can find info at any other news source.

More about the ID debate

Uriah Kriegel teaches Philosophy at the University of Arizona. He wrote this article which I think should be required reading for anyone who thinks "Intelligent Design" belongs anywhere even close to a science classroom.

I am going to print it out and keep a few copies with me in case I ever meet anyone who still thinks this garbage qualifies as science. Then I will hand it to them and tell them to remember that there is a way to tell what IS science and what ISN'T, and this, most definitely, ISN'T.
