Curse our sense of good taste and our willingness to disagree! The American Atheists have put up a billboard in Des Moines, Iowa, in preparation for the big meeting next month, and the local media have noticed and put up a poll. I'd like to say that we shall simply go in and crush this poll, except…they're using the ugly yellow design with the weird tents and symbols. Which means that even if they like the content, many atheists will vote "hate them" for their lousy esthetics.
Oh, well. Go forth and sow confusion, then. That's all these polls are good for, anyway.
