If I had kids, I know where they’d be this summer. You should look into getting on a school board here in Texas. Finally let these creationists know our true and rightful positions in the universe. Face down and trembling with mind shattering terror.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. I do hope you can join us this summer…
