Kansas is completely for the theory of Intelligent Design and just booted Darwinism out of their curriculum, but Pennsylvania replaced and entire school board with Democrats by ousting the Republicans so they could get rid of ID and teach only evolution.

On another note, I think it's kinda funny, but I sound waaaaay better on the electric set than on the acoustic set. They're really fun to play, I can make them sound however I want them to (change the pitch, reverb, delay, intensity, and a few other things), and I can turn them up or down to be louder than anyone else on the songs I play exceptionally well! ;) The only downside is that the toms sound kinda funny, so the tom solo I had in one song now has to be played with the ride going. I can do it and make it sound just fine, so it's not a big deal. That's about it! I gotta get to work and then practice some more. Lata!
