Bumper stickers are lightning rods for the religious - a couple are pulled over only ot be asked questions about their bumper stickers (promoting druidism) only to then be proselytised by a "volunteer" cop, who then later sent a letter to their home address further sermonising them. The fact that this volunteer cop appears to SOLELY BE PRESENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF WITNESSING FOR JAYSUS seems a bit disconcerting, when supposedly there is a distinction between church and state..
Meanwhile, Toyota to build a nre factory in Canada, employing 1300 - why? Because Americans are not as educated or as skilled as Canadians. This to me heralds a potential science blackout for the US - with more attention now being given to the arguments over whether to accept religious teachings in science classes, other commerically based scientific endeavours will snub the US because they will be seen as being less well educated. As a cartoon of a Chinese scientist once said, "Hey, GO FOR IT! Teach "creationism" in biology - more dollars for me in the end."

However, it was really depressing to read this:
Leaving aside the religion in science issue, that's horrible. I am curious as to whether this illiterate workforce is just plain illiterate, or comprised of recent immigrants and other non-English speakers.
And unfortunately, the US is collapsing faster on more fronts than any other nation. Ya don't need no "educashion" to work the register at Wal-Mart or other miscellaneous strip mall.
All bow down before our future Chinese overlords!
There's your answer right there. Mississippi? Alabama? Bwaaaa! Does not surprise me in the least.
Nice Christian lady is giving way to another car at a roundabout in Albany, a street back from the main drag in town.
Notices 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker on the back of said car, and decides that a bit of brotherly/sisterly Christian love is in order. So she honks.
Woman driving stops car in middle of roundabout, gets out of car and proceeds to swear at woman, informing her of her correct indication through roundabout and that she should keep her #%$@ing horn to herself!
Ta,
