Washington the new Kansas: Climatology and Al Gore is banned in Federal Way, Washington.

Here, succinctly anyway, is why a School Board place a moratorium on showing Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth":

"Condoms don't belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He's not a schoolteacher ... The information that's being presented is a very cockeyed view of what the truth is. ... The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn't in the DVD."

I fear that this person's children are going to sprout into seven very screwed up adults. Also, who names their kid Frosty? Is it any wonder she's closed-minded, backwards, and bitter?

Frosty is actually a man, make of that what you will.

Anyway, all this is happening in Federal Way. If you know the Seattle metropolitan area, you don't need further explanation. There are some pockets of weirdness in Washington State. I was born in one.
