Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you live. How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on. If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy? If Wal-Mart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing is free yet? You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

What happened to Greenwood/Tulsa might be an example. However, I am inclined to believe that people who don't like Trump have a higher level of frustration and motivation than actual Trump supporters. Much of their motivation comes from the pulpit, and once churches make themselves targets, and are burned down, their ardor for white grievance will wane.

And it is a certainty that having religionists teach science means it will be taught incompetently. The religionists suit claims a secular education is intrinsically discriminatory. As the prevailing belief system, that is surely more culture war propaganda that anything based on reality.
