The May -June Issue of the Informal Learning Review has a very 
interesting article  by Nancy Falxa-Raymond titled  "Why is there no 
Evolution in Nature Films". Another article, "The Conservation of 
Evolution Education in Zoos" by Colin Purrington is a thought 
provoking companion. It suggests to me that Creationism or ID has 
(and is) a pretty successful underground movement in the control of 
information, all under the guise of "not wanting to offend anybody".

I'm no kin to a monkey, cause that's what Walt Disney tells me.

  As a side note:
When I really think about the human condition and the horrendous 
behavior humankind inflicts upon itself and the rest of the world, 
well, it makes me wonder what exactly qualifies us as an intelligent 
design? Do we rank up there next to, say, the Yugo?

The opinions expressed are purely my own. There, I feel better now.
