22. Glad you mentioned Bush Junior... what a bad dream his presidency was

I'm glad you mentioned George W. Bush because I couldn't understand how he managed to get re-elected in 2004. His many failures should have been a no brainer for voters. He failed in many things and got us into a war we never had any legitimate reason to get into. Plus, his religious baloney was a violation of the separation of church and state. He had every right to believe as he personally wanted, don't get me wrong, but we really did not need a President telling the National Park Service they should have "equal time" given to creationism by making them stock creationist books in their Grand Canyon National Park gift shop. He was a proponent of that equal time garbage all through his Presidency. Because of him I joined the National Center for Science Education. Of course, he was not the only one saying this stuff, but he gave the creationists power and influence which I began combating 30 years ago before W was ever president, and have continued to do so.
