now that we have the definition of evolution at hand, lets move onto this fascinating article from cnn.com about how georgia wants the word evolution banned from its schools. but this isnt your ordinary belittling of conservative religious cretins…nope, this time both sides are equally lobbing poo at the state’s school superintendent, kathy cox. cox wants to ban the word in favor of “biological changes over time” or whatever b/c she feels that the word evolution is just a “buzzword.” (she was most likely doing the “quotes” gesture with her fingers). this is of course in lieu of its definition which fits quite nicely the scientific theory of evolu….oops…biological changes over time. so obviously the not-so-conservative are doing the “eh?” eye. but surprisingly, so are the conservatives. “Social conservatives who prefer religious creation to be taught instead of evolution criticized the proposal as well. “If you’re teaching the concept without the word, what’s the point?” said Rep. Bobby Franklin, a Republican. “It’s stupid. It’s like teaching gravity without using the word gravity.”” bwahaha. not to mention “banning” words in and of itself is a pretty stupid idea. it could be fun tho as absolute ruler of the planet of me, and every week or so…just ban 3 words for shits and googles.
me > i decree, today, henceforth, til um…next sunday, that thou shall not use the following words. and! what! canada!
guy1 > and how are we supposed to state multiple subject matters in a sentence then?
me > you said “and.” striketh thee dead!
guy1 > what? this sucks…im moving to canada.
me > oooh, you just died two more times!!! smote thee!!!
…that would be great…
