Intelligent design - yeah right!

ABC News: Lawyers debate God vs. science in court drama: "At least 31 states are taking steps to teach alternatives to evolution. A CBS poll last November found 65 percent of Americans favor teaching creationism as well as evolution while 37 percent want creationism taught instead of evolution.
Fifty-five percent of Americans believe God created humans in their present form, the poll found."

Intelligent design obviously did not include designing intelligent people ...

Judge killed in his Atlanta courtroom

CNN.com
This is obviously terrible. An interesting observation I made is that the defendant grabbed the gun from a deputy. When this can happen in a courtroom with a number of armed deputies, what can happen on a plane if somebody "grabs" a gun from the air marshall?
No guns = nobody gets shot!

Search for Illicit Weapons in Iraq Ends
