Here, here. 6 years ago, I found myself in a state where the board of education had just passed a regulation to require the teaching of creationism (Kansas, that same state that has now made it law to teach "intelligent design"). I wrote a letter to the largest paper in the state basically saying, "congrats on your biblical stance, now watch the exodus." 5 and half years ago, I moved away.

I sincerely hope folks in Texas and Kansas are quite pleased with their attitudes made law. I and my upper middle class college educated demographic will not darken their doorstep ever again.
