Still at the insurance place, I take it? I have to say, one of the worst things about the place was the rabid fundamentalism of some of the employees. Really scary stuff.<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -3 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --> Steve,

It is also ironic that I write this within a stone's throw of a half dozen creationists.<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -3 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-strike: empty field - author url, 1 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --> A couple of friends attended Jesuit high schools and reported that their biology classes made no mention of creationism.
