For someone who's actually interested, do some research on hemp as an alternative energy. It can also be used for clothing, medicine, and for your own enjoyment!

I agree about presenting both sides of the issue, which is why it's good to be teaching ID to our kids as well. And I suppose Civil Engineering has SO much to do with Evolution.. Please man, wake up and smell the roses. Since when are engineering disasters caused by teaching ID? There's just as much proof for ID as there is for evolution, so let the kids decide which they want to believe. Or is it that you're one of those who want to indoctrinate our kids into atheism? These types of problems is why I don't agree with having a state-controlled school, and why I will be homeschooling my kids.
