I live 50 miles from the Kansas state line. I can say what I like about Kansans; it's a right enshrined in the Nebraska state constitution. I think he's being too kind to Kansans in calling them simple-minded and pious; I'd say the ones who promote ID are also pig-ignorant, and resentful of people whose view of the Universe doesn't depend on what looks like an increasingly unlikely creation myth.
I am right with ya.
