According to the document, which was leaked by a source within PBS, one of the goals of "Evolution" is to "co-opt existing local dialogue about teaching evolution in schools." Another goal is to "promote participation," including "getting involved with local school boards."

Well, well, well. What do we have here?

I'm not going to get into the Creationist/Darwinist spitting contest. I will, however, say that PBS should be defunded now. If they ever served a legitimate government purpose (a debatable propostion), they certainly no longer do.

Using taxpayer money to advance an agenda??? Whod'a thought! Almost as bad as this incident:

IN A NUTSHELL: A day before the Senate completed action on a comprehensive education bill that it had debated for six weeks, Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) introduced a two-sentence amendment drafted by evolution opponents. The amendment, presented in the form of a Senate resolution, defines "good science education" and encourages teaching the "controversy" surrounding biological evolution. Amidst a flurry of other amendments, the Senate voted 91-8 in favor of the provision on its way to passing the entire bill by the same margin. Earlier, a group of conservative representatives had stripped a science testing provision out of the House counterpart bill in part because of concerns that the tests would include evolution-related questions. Differences between the two bills will be worked out in a House-Senate conference likely to take place in early July.

Sounds like these people have been taking cues from GLSEN (sp), the Gay, Lesbian, Straight organization that is promoting homosexuality in public schools.

For me the best thing about the series was Susan Blackmore's blonde, orange and purple hair.

Blackmore is a radical neo-Darwninist who places intense belief in Richard Dawkins' notion of memes. She has emerged as the primary public defender of the idea. It is through the memetic concept that Dawkins and his posse hope to further a leftwing, atheistic political agenda, first by denigrating all of philosophy and religion that existed prior to the "discovery" of memes, suggesting that they are mere evolved survival mechanisms similar to the opposable thumb, and then by constructing and installing a memetic algorithm in keeping with Dawkins' utilitarian view of morality and politics, being careful all the while to attach suitable scientific sounding justifications for obliterating what they consider a primeval belief in the transcendent.

Nothing about memes has been proven, by the way. It's junk science through and through.

Blackmore's ridiculous appearance (the garb of a teenager and orange, blonde and purple hair on a woman in her 30s), and hopped-up, childish demeanor served to denigrate only one thing---her intellectual capacity. She made a fool of herself.
