McCain has as his VP candidate a person who is the embodiment of why the rest of the world laughs at the American education system. Palin signifies ignorance, hatred and fear of knowledge. She mocks those who see intelligence and reason as a virtue as 'liberal elite', as though those who are educated and experienced are somehow unqualified to run a superpower.
If the republican party is elected again, we can expect to see Creationism and it's cheap-tuxedo equivilent 'Intelligent Design' tought in American public schools as an equal to evolutionary theory.
To teach the dressed up version of a theology is a crime, where children go for knowledge and learning, they will be indoctrinated with religion.
I.D itself is full of holes, and if it's tought to students on a par with scientific theories, then there is a real danger of those students becoming mistrustful of other scientific theories, and retreating into ignorance.
America, if you wish to avoid this you can do a simple act. Deny ignorance. Vote for Obama.
