Intelligent design
The New York Times reports that the forces of the Enlightenment have come at last to my humble Commonwealth:
All eight members up for re-election to the Pennsylvania school board that had been sued for introducing the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in biology class were swept out of office yesterday by a slate of challengers who campaigned against the intelligent design policy.
Now that’s what I call some of that there natural selection.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I just couldn’t resist.
Seriously, Enlightenment, I’m sorry we postmodernists said so many mean things about you. Can you forgive us? Tell you what. You get rid of that annoying “universalism as a stalking horse for imperialism” thing, and we’ll stop going around saying silly things like “reason is an instrument of terror.” Deal?
Cool. Now let’s take this show on the road to Kansas.
You are now in American Airspace.
