My fellow Kansans, WE did it.

[Mabus]

We got things done by working together. We've got a sane KSOB in control and science standards have changed.

Kans. ed board OKs evolution-centered science
Guidelines backed by conservatives skeptical of Darwin repealed

TOPEKA, Kan. - The Kansas state Board of Education on Tuesday repealed science guidelines questioning evolution that had made the state an object of ridicule.

The new guidelines reflect mainstream scientific views of evolution and represent a political defeat for advocates of “intelligent design,” who had helped write the standards that are being jettisoned.

The intelligent design concept holds that life is so complex that it must have been created by a higher authority.

and all the rest of you who aren't listed (mostly because I have to go make dinner). Working together we made a difference.

Each of you is a :patriot: in my book. If I could, I'd give each of you who post here on the Kansas forum a heart. Instead all I can give you is my undying respect for doing all that you do. :loveya:

And whatever it is that we've been doing, let's keep doing it!

1. Big hooray!

Also to you and the Admiral!

I had no idea how difficult it was to get some sanity in a legislature (still working on them) or a school board. Honestly, I am dog tired and just beginning.

We can do it if we just stick together.

:grouphug:

8. Yes we can

and every victory, no matter how small, helps us make Kansas a better place. Let's hope we're as successful in attaining civil rights for every one in the near future.

2. Huzzah!

Go, go sanity!

[Mabus]

7. Let's hope it spreads

Now, if we can just get rid of NCLB.

3. Well done!!!! n/m

[Mabus]

6. And thank you!

Sorry I forgot to mention your name in my list. I was between a rock and a hard place, so to speak. I was so excited about the decision that I wanted to get my "thank you" posted but I was also defending my time on the computer to do so when I had several hungry relatives in the house.

4. That and we have

one more Democrat in the state legislature, Gene Rardin. His two vote win shows that there are times when every vote counts. Thanks also to all here who helped out in his campaign.

[Mabus]

5. I was so happy to hear that!

Thank you for all that you have done and that you will do in the future. Every little bit helps.

:hug:

9. "And whatever it is that we've been doing, let's keep doing it!"

OK. See you Saturday!

[Mabus]

10. check this out

Never mind, the link is redirecting to the wrong page. I've corrected it but it is taking longer than I expected to actually change.

[evlbstrd]

11. Damn!

Great job! I think I will switch my site over to a forum and meetup only site.

[Mabus]

12. Ooopsie

I was changing the text in the post while you were responding. It should redirect to http://algoredotorg.wordpress.com/ and not the "about" page in the next hour or so.

[Mabus]

13. Why?

There's no need to do that. We can run parallel sites. We can talk about it this weekend. Speaking of which, I think I can migrate the contents of the experimental site to our server this weekend. I'm going to need to turn off the redirect at some point and start the content migration (or figure out how to do it while they are both active).

[evlbstrd]

14. Yeah, we need a strategery.

Should I bring my 'puter with me?

[Mabus]

15. Most definitely

That blogger guy is supposed to be there too. He wanted to show us some stuff. Encourage (like you could stop her :eyes:) proud to bring hers.

[evlbstrd]

16. I'm sure she'll bring hers.

She'll be running her slideshows.
I shoulda known we wouldn't get to it at that last meeting.

[Mabus]

17. I guess I shouldn't have hid her power supply

:evilgrin:
