Except that the same thing is now being repeated in other states as well, this year even. Eventually I think logic and sanity will prevail again, but that requires active intervention of the voices of logic and sanity. And the groups that are starting these things aren't going to stop, not in your or my lifetime anyway. They won't stop until there are so few left that everyone will see them in the exact same light as if someone was trying to have red sky theory introduced into the school system.
Unfortunately it's an ongoing struggle, and it can't be ignored, not yet anyway.

I don't know, worldwide I'd probably agree, but in the US? I'd like to think so, but we've talked about polls and how they're worded and measuring this kind of thing before.
Increasing or decreasing isn't as important as the question of what impact it has on society.
