    "Creationists aren't even on the radar screen for them," Faulker said on the faith-based talk show. "They wouldn't even consider us plausible at all."



    Correct.

    Faulkner claimed the 13-episode series has a distinct "evolutionary bias," and agreed with Mefferd's concern that Cosmos doesn't even present creationism as an alternative theory.



    Well derr - cus it was a SCIENCE program not a mythology one. These idiots make me so um ... cross :P

    What choice? Children are defenseless against adults in a school setting. There was no way at all for that, or any other, child to "stand up" to a teacher. This is doubly true in this case as it appears that the admin was as biased as the teacher. Niether the teacher nor that admin should ever be involved in education again.



    Unfortunately the opposite appears to be WAY MORE the case.. Teachers, over here at least, can do next to nothing to discipline the 'little darlings'.

    ***It is in the realm of possibility to surmise that if Mitt Romney had been elected we would not be facing this dilemma. BHO revealed himself to be a wuss a long time ago. Thus V. Putin calculated his strategy for a time such as this. It is KGB mentality versus ACORN mentality.



    Right... Mitt is just so butch... I mean he did protest for a war.. before he ran away from that war.:S

    Why do conservatives love guys who act so butch??

    If most of the politicians that love to send 'our' boys and girls into harms way had to stand side by side with them in that action.. you can bet there would be a LOT less of those sorts of actions!!

    So, here's a new 'Rule' anyone who wants someone to kick someone else's arse needs to man up and pull on the boots.. or STFU

    ***Now you wanna go back to using the term atmo??



    ANything that isn't easily confused with "tracking" or another established term in the sport.

    I don't know how "tracing" made any sort of sense in the first place, actually.

    Probably due to the 'Not invented' here" syndrome.

    Marco Tiezzi invented Atmo and it's perfectly good term and he's a really great bloke.

    ***OK I am getting that you don't like "St Patty's" day, which has always seemed logical to me, as Patty sounds like abbreviation of Patrick.

    So if you prefer to call it Paddy's Day, who is Paddy?
    Paddy sounds like the name for a child's stuffed toy or something.



    Paddy is short for Patrick.

    "Say what?" I hear them saying....

    Don't confuse the poor yanks too much :P

    It's cus the Irish form of Patrick is Pádraic.

    >Isn't there talk of a battery swap idea as well?

    Yes, but I have serious doubts that anyone will be willing to swap their brand new $40,000 battery for a perhaps-cruddy one at a swap station.



    Perhaps you can set the system up such that you buy a car but never buy a battery just rent them... then it would matter 'less' if your received a cruddy one every now and then.

    Question. I was told that if the winds aloft are high at opening altitude, it is important to open facing directly into the wind or directly downwind. Why is this true?



    How do you KNOW if you are facing into WIND? :S.

    There is ONLY one type of wind that a canopy knows about .. but hey, that's all relative:P
