1. Thank you very much for the recommend :)
The question pressing most on my mind right now is the one in panel one: what this implies is, if by making regular large donations, as Exxon does, a corporation can control or subtly otherwise influence the standards of the National Science Teachers' Association - and thereby what American schoolchildren are taught - what on EARTH is to prevent a cadre of creationist fundamentalists, hiding behind a large public corporation name and EIN, from donating large amounts regularly and doing the same thing?

Welcome to the slippery slope, folks.

4. Feel free to use this cartoon wherever you need it
Share it around, distribute it - it's yours for the fight. How ridiculous that this is even an issue in our society. If current conditions continue, by 2015 we will have proudly become a nation of pious fools.

Imagine an America with no science.

Chilling.
