LARGO, Florida (AP) -- An autopsy that found Terri Schiavo suffered from severe and irreversible brain-damage has done nothing to sway her parents' position that she deserved to live and may have gotten better with therapy
xtain denials are amazing, sometimes plain blatant misinformation
Such as'
No global warming
Teaching only abstenance works....
Evolution is not a fact
They have thier own facts and figures that contridict true scientific research
I remember there was a woman in Bozeman who came to talk to a school about sex and her facts and figures were so horribly wrong a parent couldn't believe the school let her do it.
Its the same with the ID folks, they pretend to be scientific when they are not accepted by the scientific community.
Why is the public falling for this?

Kansas Krisis
Here we go again.
Mr. Moore asked his fans what new topic should he consider filming for a new documentary.
I emailed him back and told him to check out the ID Theory controversary.
It would be great for the public to see what these wackos are up to, see what their tactics are and expose what their real motives are.
Evolution debate gets personal in Kansas
School board members hurl insults at each otherThe Associated Press
Updated: 8:44 p.m. ET June 15, 2005TOPEKA, Kan. - A discussion about how evolution should be taught in Kansas' public schools degenerated Wednesday into personal attacks among State Board of Education members.
The board reviewed proposed standards drafted by three conservative members, designed to expose students to more criticism of evolution in the classroom.
The standards, which determine how students in fourth, seventh and 10th grades are tested on science, currently describe evolution as a key concept for students to learn before graduating from high school, treating it as the best explanation for how life developed and changed over time.
The three members who drafted the latest proposal are among six conservatives who control the board — and likely to approve much if not all of it. Four moderates, who favor retaining the standards' evolution-friendly tone, assailed the proposal.
Board member Bill Wagnon, of Topeka, told the three conservatives they had become "dupes" of intelligent design advocates and said their proposal was based "on absolute and total fraud."
Board member Sue Gamble, of Shawnee, said while board members should review proposed standards, they shouldn't write their own language, as the three conservatives did. She said the writing should be left to scientists and science teachers.
Board Chairman Steve Abrams, one of the three conservatives who drafted the latest proposal, said he had studied "a huge amount" of science, including in postgraduate classes. He is an Arkansas City veterinarian.
But Gamble replied: "I question your qualifications."
Helping Abrams draft the latest proposal were board members Kathy Martin, of Clay Center, and Connie Morris, of St. Francis. Morris chastised the board's four moderates for not attending the public hearings in May.
During the hearings, witnesses criticized evolutionary theory that natural chemical processes may have created the first building blocks of life, that all life has descended from a common origin and that man and apes share a common ancestor.
"Had you attended, you would have been informed," Morris said. "You would be sitting here as informed individuals and not arrogantly calling us dupes."

Dear Judith,
After reading your column about your hellish childhood nightmare, I was reminded of one I had a year ago or so.
I was 40 and after years of hearing about the Left Behind series, I thought I would read the first book. I had planned to read the whole series. Just for the hell of it ;)
I checked out “Left Behind” from the library, climbed into bed that night and began reading.
Being a religion free person, I was instantly horrified by the opening paragraphs.
After a few pages into the first chapter I couldn’t continue and went to sleep.
More like tried to sleep…..
I don’t remember the details of the nightmare but I know for a fact it was triggered by what I had read in the book.
I did not sleep well. I tossed and turned all night. Haunted is the only word I can come up with to describe the after-effects of the dream(s). It was upsetting.
I returned the book to the Library the next day.
I don’t know why, but it still bothers me today. Why was I so affected by the story if it’s not true?
After some reflection, I think it’s the people who believe this stuff and accept it as justice is what scares the hell out of me.

Interesting number of letters to the editor today
It must be march madness, there were lots of people airing thier opinions.
There was a Morman asking all to pray and fast for divine intervention to stop the drought.
There was a Shaman Healing Arts group burned out by an arsonist and wanted to thank Helena for thier help.
There was Bob giving his opionion about the 10 commandments.
Wow.
I don't have the time to respond properly.
I guess the one that bugs me is the pastor from Missouri.
These people come to Montana, not to save souls but to escape, to hide from crime, drugs, the colored people... etc. Is Montana really in the need of saving or is it just a place to hide and bide their time.
It seems Montana has always attracted wackos like these. They come here to live their lives in peace and worship as they please, start their own little churchs (cults), but then turn around and try and change Montana. These people are never happy, never will be until Christ (; returns and saves them from this supposed evil world. So Sad.
I wish they would be like the Hutterites, start a Godly colony, dress in black and hole up until armegedon. I know, wishful thinking.

my first post since getting back from Puerto Rico
Discrimination against gays. Critics of a bill to outlaw discrimination against gays and lesbians turned the tables on advocates by attacking the measure as discriminatory against the religious beliefs of those who oppose homosexuality.
These religious bigots can discriminate all they want, they just shouldn't be able to use the state to do so.
