		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The head count during the peak period of the demonstration was over 200 participants there supporting science and speaking out against mythology and superstition.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
200? NKY.com says sites &quot;several dozen&quot;. When was the peak and how long did it last?&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Too bad I had to work today (its bad enough I had to work on a national holiday) or I would of checked out the protest to see it in person. But you all did a great job supporting science, reason, and education over blind faith and myth. This museum is a insult to science, to education, to history, and to reason as well as my local area. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though I am a very heavy athiest, I believe if people want to practice religion, it should be at a personal level. But it seems like as of late, their not taking it beyond personal and trying to enforce it quite hard as fact to a public level, and this museum can&#039;t be a any more clearer representation of that. It probably won&#039;t be long before there more of these &quot;Creation Museums&quot; and maybe these people won&#039;t stop there either, they might also aim to turn normal museum&#039;s into creation museums as well, and then they will bend history books in schools to follow the Genesis story instead of the facts historians and scientists have always known...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But as I said before, I&#039;m glad there&#039;s groups out there like Rally for Reason that against this and trying to help people wake up and realise what&#039;s going on, try to make these people think instead of believe bronze age lies, and whatnot.</description>

Naw. Don&#039;t think so. The religious right is going down and within just a few years. They hitched their wagons to a homocidal US president and that is going to be their demise.</description>

		<description>OT but I don&#039;t care. My heart sank with a thud when I read Cindy Sheehan&#039;s farewell post on the Daily Kos. Here&#039;s an excerpt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt; &quot;I will try to maintain and nurture some very positive relationships that I have found in the journey that I was forced into when Casey died and try to repair some of the ones that have fallen apart since I began this single-minded crusade to try and change a paradigm that is now, I am afraid, carved in immovable, unbendable and rigidly mendacious marble.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Hmmm...Since they stated 1000&#039;s would attend...I&#039;d say the rally was a dismal failure according to their own expectations...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;The head count during the peak period of the demonstration was over 200 participants&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At it&#039;s peak...? And a second source stating only a few dozen...NOT 200 protesters...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What did that areial banner say...?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Thou Shalt Not Lie&quot;...?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone should listen to their own advice...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;PETERSBURG - A twisting line of people perhaps five blocks long wound inside and outside the Creation Museum on Monday, waiting to see its exhibits 2? hours after the controversial $27 million facility opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the first day, the museum hosted more than 4,000 visitors, spokesman Mark Looy said Monday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond the gates, several dozen protesters staged a &quot;Rally for Reason,&quot; arguing that the museum&#039;s central tenets conflict with scientific dating techniques.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070529/NEWS0103/705290376/-1/CINCI&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4000 visitors...!!! Thanks AA for the FREE advertisments... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And who in their right mind would post that video as a success..?  I counted about 45 people...and Missing in Action were Dave and Ellen...so much for support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ll bet the best part of the event was when Mr. Smalkowski rocked out... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>The Smalkowskis are not the only ones who have problems in America&#039;s heartland. Here is a report from Oklahoma, surprisingly from a tv station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.kfor.com/global/story.asp?s=6536536&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;OKLAHOMA CITY -- One of life&#039;s biggest questions in the world is, &quot;does God really exist?&quot; Ask 95 percent of Oklahomans and the answer is a definitive &quot;yes,&quot; but there&#039;s a closet community who would argue against a supreme being and some say they&#039;ve been threatened by Christians because of their belief.&lt;br /&gt;
