Does the dinasour exhibit contain an explaination that evolution is only a theory? Some of you should check out the U.S. Geological Survey. I am afraid that Bush and the gang has reached that once fine organization as well. When I want the latest information on 'the big melt', I read the British Geological Survey. What is next?

Not everyone who calls it Global Warming is working for the Bush Administration. Global Warming is, unfortunately the popular term.
