RELIGION AND POLITICS: INTOLERANCE IS GROWING
I rather liked the post and what you were trying to say Rick, I just wanted to interject that one little bit.It was a minor point on my part and it shouldnt distract from what you were trying to say.
I would also add that there are plenty of books offered in the same bookstore that offer hopi and navajo religious beliefs on the age and creation of the Grand Canyon, many of which are as laughable as the creationists need to establish the date of the eath at 6,000 years old. I've never heard any complaints about those creation theories by "park staff".
Its interesting to note that while european christian creationists are almost always met with laughter by the all-knowing,all-seeing "rational" public, indigenious culture creation theories are often held by the same group to be in high esteem and worthy of note.
As a scientist, I just sit and wonder what all the fuss is about.
(...Sorry for the off topic diversion, and thanks for the kind words.)

so the park service not permitted to discuss age of grand canyon?

I have to conclude one of two things from this cursory examination of the facts:
1) once again anti-bush bias has blocked the use of common sense and logic, not to mention 10 seconds of research to check an easily verified fact or two
or
2) we all know that bush is a crazed-jesus freak, so who cares if its true or not - just print it.

CIA VS. THE WHITE HOUSE: PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION
I concur.
While this is just one data point in the big scan, it does seem to reveal a very interesting trendline that deserves more close monitoring. I must admit that I'm having trouble resisting the pull of the "Grand Unified Theory" that the McCarthy case is making in regards to leakage from the CIA, and leftist conspiracy therein.
