Not only do we need a rationality day we need the schools to start teaching students to think for themselves. If I was president of the U.S. I would make it a law that befor any person could graduate from high school they would have to take a class based on Carl Sagans' Demon Haunted World. Upon completion of this class they would have to pass an extensive test on everything they learned. I have brought this up befor and I am bringing it up again. I do not feel that it is off topic as some has suggested in the past. I am talking about the Godless Americans March in Washington D.C. on November 2nd 2002. If you are an atheist or a Godless American you should make it a point to be there. This is a golden opportunity to show America that we are not a micro-minority, but a large and growing group. If we do not fight for our rights we will soon lose them. Make no mistake, there are people out there that would like nothing more than to return America to the medieval times. So how about it!!! Can we get some commitments from people to show up? How about it Rudi, sounds like something you would be interested in attending. Can we get a commitment from you. I have committed and I am layed off from my job. American Atheists is also looking for individual and group endorsers. Check out their website at www.godlessamericans.org for more information about this. It would be nice to see Extropy and the Society For Venturism endorse this march. How about it?
