Weak minds exaggerate too much the wrong done to the Africans.
Evolution is unobservable. It's based on blind faith in a few dry bones and on unreliable dating systems in which the gullible trust. Kids should be allowed to make up their own minds about this issue, and not be censored to 'one side is all we will let you hear.'
When you work at 'The Daily Show,' you have to give 100 percent, or you're gone. The competitiveness and the minds that work in those offices are incredible.
