5/5/07: At the Republican presidential debate this past week, when the candidates were asked whether they did not believe in evolution, three of the candidates raised their hands. Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas; Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas; and Representative Tom Tancredo of Colorado all refuse to believe the scientific fact of evolution in favor or religious fundamentalist lunacy.
That this could enter into the political debate over who could be the next president in 2007 is indeed scary. Even worse is that people like this currently occupy the key positions of power in the US, and more of the same could replace them in 2008. What are you going to do about it?
