Our dependence on lousy governments for space transport needs to end. Go SpaceX!

(I'm from Louisiana) If you look at the correction at the bottom of the article, Louisiana and Tennessee just look really bad because they appear to have put a bullet point over every public high school in the two states, which probably isn't an accurate representation of the distribution of ignorance. People in the bigger cities, yes, even this far south, tend to be more worldly than out in the boonies (except in Shreveport! They're different up there!). And using the word "education" is a stretch for some of these places. If they teach ID as well as they teach literacy, human civilization has little to fear.
