News stories that have made me want to drink and add Idiocracy to my Netflix queue

Going through digg has made me make some long exasperated sighs.

In Federal Way Washington, the school board has decided not to show An Inconvenient Truth to the students. They require movies to "be balanced with an adequate opposing viewpoint." That sort of policy sounds nice on paper but not when you have fucktards who drop soundbites like this one:

"Condoms don't belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He's not a schoolteacher," said Frosty Hardison, a parent of seven children who doesn't want the film shown at all.
"The information that's being presented is a very cockeyed view of what the truth is," Hardison told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn't in the DVD."

Is there a way to encourage non-morons to spawn at the rate that your average religiose asshat does? Because if so that would be great. Maybe we could just take all the warning labels of things, thin out the shallow end of the genepool a bit. And isn't Washington usually considered a blue state? Aren't they usually fairly liberal on environmental issues? I think that this is just the case of one group that isn't necessarily in the majority (but who think they are, see also: pretty much every evangelical and Conservative ever) being the loudest so getting there side heard over everyone else. Yeah, that's what I'm telling myself. Helps me sleep at night.

I had another couple of things to mention but now I'm to pissed of. Something about a Texas restaurateur getting death threats for taking pesos as well as USDs and this thing on ethanol but I'm getting a cluster headache.
