A few weeks ago, George Bush stated that he felt the 'intelligent design' theory of creation should be taught alongside evolution in schools.

Perhaps we should teach our children the same?
Or perhaps we can teach them that the world was created in toto 2 years ago by a gigantic space lizard.
I don't know why they can't teach the religious and the scientific explainations then let the kids think about it for themselves (unless they can't think about it for themselves).
Does that bloke do anything good for this planet or its residants?

I dont think they have religous lessons like they do here. Is it because of the separation of church and state.

YAY!!!! Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is obviously the way to go - any religion who's heaven has a stripper factory and beer volcanos has gotta be worthy of a kowtow!
The only possible problem is do I have to give up lasagne?

In the same way we teach our children about sex and childbearing?
"there are two theories about childbirth, one revolves around the successful fertilization of an ovum, 9 months gestation and arrival through the birth canal - the other says that when two people are very much in love the stork turns up with their baby after a little while"

oh yes. he reminds us how very, very funny he is. And it would be a laughing matter too, like Aunties TV Bloopers, except the BBC do not control the largest nuclear arsenal and military force in the known universe.
hark at his words -
George W Bush III, President of the United States of America, the most powerful man on the planet
"The problem with the French is they don’t even have a word for ’entrepreneur’"
“My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important reason. It begins here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times.”
“No cause justifies the killing of innocent life.”
“The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country.”
(on the gulf war II, to Pat Robertson) “Oh, no, we’re not going to have any casualties.”
“Gas is — can only be transported by ship, though, when you liquefy it, when you put it in solid form.”
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says: Fool me once, shame on [pause] shame on you. [Pause] Fool me [long, uncomfortable, agonizing pause] you can’t get fooled again.”
“Today’s struggle against terrorism will require the sacrifice of our forefathers, but it is a sacrifice I can promise you we’ll make. It’s a sacrifice for the good of America, for the good of France, for the good of freedom around the world.”
...ad nauseam
