Last week I read a short article detailing the trouble the American Museum of Natural History recently encountered when trying to raise funds for the new Darwin exhibit. Private individuals, who apparently aren't completely fucking nuts, raised the $3 million necessary to get the show up and running. You know this country is going to hell when you can't get a corporation to hawk an art exhibit for fear of getting involved in the absolutely ridiculous creationism/intelligent design/evolution debates! In a not-so-scientific (dare i even mention science?) CBS-poll, over 50 percent of Americans don't believe in evolution! Really, I couldn't believe this number. CBS or not . . . it just shows that more and more Americans are getting dumber by the minute. For further proof of the country's rapid descent into fundamentalism, this same article stated that the Creationist Museum (I didn't even know such a place existed) in Cincinnatti, OH was able to raise $7 million for its operations.
