ICR Sues Texas

Totally off-topic.So you're saying that the Great Independent State of Texas is not controlled in all things by Creationist yahoos bent on usurping all science curricula in all schools?Yet, from all the past threads and messages the impression was left that Texas was a hopelessly lost cause for Mom, Apple Pie and the Empirical Way.Maybe ... just maybe ... the good people of the Great Independent State of Texas are not all the morons they have been made out to be?That maybe there is rationality and good scientific reasoning in the populous?That maybe the creationist yahoos get the high press because, in Texas, all are free to be stupid or not and we like to laugh at the stupid so we put it in our newspapers so everyone can join in the fun, point fingers and laugh?Every few years we hear about "the textbooks" with the creationists wanting equal time or nutjobs wanting more "conservative values" and we all hear that and have a great laugh. But in the end these stupids lose, the textbooks are just fine, but you never hear that part in the media.You want real stupid? Go see Kansas. For god sake they actually did change their state-wide school curriculum for their creationist yahoos.How bout a li'l love for Texas, y'all.----------------------------------------------One of our local farmers had two cows that froze to death last August.It seems that they had crawled through a fence into a field of popcorn. It got so hot that the corn started popping, the cows thought that it was snowing and froze to death.-----------------------------------------------A Texas rancher was complainin' bout the drought.Well, all my stock tanks have gone dry and I have dug three water wells and so far all I have gotten is oil, so I guess I will have to sell my cattle for whatever the market will bring, take my loss and try again next year.------------------------------------------------A Texan took me duck hunting and we sat in a blind all day and never saw a thing. Then about sundown a lone duck flew overhead so high you could hardly see it. When it was directly overhead the Texan raised his shotgun and fired.
The duck kept right on flying.Then the Texan turned to me in amazement and said, "Son, yore witnessing a miracle. Thar flies a dead duck."------------------------------------------------There are a lot of folks that can't understand how we ran out of oil here in the USA. Well, here's the answer: It's simple. Nobody bothered to check the oil. Didn't know we were getting low.Of course the reason for that is geographical. Most of the oil is in Texas and all the dipsticks are in Washington.---------------------------------------------------Ya gotta love a people that can take the bull and make a yarn from it.
