This one is flagrantly unconstitutional as opposed to last year's "Academic Freedom" bill which is the latest sneak attack on science. But I don't think our Baptist friends in the legislature (I think all the sponsors and co-sponsors are Baptists) don't intend to necessarily get it passed. But they can claim submittal during their next campaign cycle in an effort to pander to their base supporters.MartyMcConnellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25327006.post-86604725890625237672012-01-14T09:44:49.649-06:002012-01-14T09:44:49.649-06:00Jon!

It's fucking <i>chemistry</i>, not the symbol manipulation of syntactic systems like human languages.RBH Thirdhttp://profiles.google.com/rbh.thirdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25327006.post-85870425853215852432012-01-12T21:32:44.476-06:002012-01-12T21:32:44.476-06:00Jon,
