Quoting Kim Hyatt <kimharch@cut.net>:
I fear that Buttars will get all the press he wants (public servant morons seem to be very successful that way) and will pursuade Utah's conservative public that there is some kind of threat, just as he did with the definition of marriage issue. The "public" is undoubtedly even less knowledgeable about science then Buttars and the ID "theory" will be foisted on our kids in public schools. In that sense, Dave, science will, indeed, be subject to majority rule. Unfortunately.
Kim, I certainly hope that you don't think for a minute that Rep Chris Buttars speaks for Utah's Conservative Public. Being a proud member of the Conservative public that I am, Rep Buttars neither speaks for me, nor any of my Conservative friends. He might think he speaks for all of us, but he would be sadly mistaken. Please refrain from lumping us ALL into his camp. I think there is enough bad representation on BOTH sides, where most decent, free thinking individuals, would not wish any association. Thank you.
