I found no evidence that Manning was an IA or running for office. Either I am missing something or your lacing your coffee with peyote. Not that there is anything wrong with that. :-) will evans user experience architect [EMAIL PROTECTED] 617.281.1281 On Jul 19, 2008, at 6:34 PM, Don

Does it matter what people in Kansas know or don't about IA? The school board in the state redefined science so that creationism could be taught as a legitimate alternative to natural selection. They are already swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool.
