According to KTUU, there were about 1500 of us on the parkstrip this morning to ask our government not to substitute ideology for science. I wore my two signs, but it wasn't until I stood next to Clyde Vicary that synergy occurred and people came up to take our picture to show that patriotism and the flag don't only (or even) belong to the Tea Party. Possibly there were only 1494 people there to ask that of our government since there were about 6 there to aver that their faith in their understanding of the Bible was more plausible than results obtained by observation and experiment.
