Resignation and a Little Hope

Ugh. Kids. Catholic school. Guilt, shame, and anti-intellectual worship of the supernatural. Frightening and depressing simultaneously. I hope someday the three of us can raise a glass to the death of God. Until then, it's half-truths and mythology.

No kidding... Try living in Texas where even the public schools want to write Thomas Jefferson out of the history books in favor of a chapter on our "Christian" nation...

I hear you. I can't believe that agenda has as much traction as it does. I have lots of friends in Texas who, while definitely right-wing, are not part of the superstitious, anti-empiricism crowd. My personal anecdotes notwithstanding, we do seem to be lurching to the religious right.
