As someone living (trapped?) in Oklahoma, I can say it doesn't come as much a surprise. The state government pulling publicity stunts like this to give conservatives something to chew on isn't exactly an uncommon occurrence. Still, legislating opinion -- and that's exactly what it is -- is a fallacy. The majority of Oklahoma citizens, contrary to whats stated in the bill, don't care let alone even know who Richard Dawkins is.

Amen to that. Truth!
