I certainly hope not, but from where I sit in the path of what passes for
"progress" in suburban Atlanta it often seems to me that a committment to
paving the earth is a prerequisite for being among the Boortz and Beck
crowd.  I do think a significant minority of the Right believe that the
earth is somewhat older than 8,000 years.  I also believe a somewhat smaller
percentage of the right may have some understanding of why a CO-2 molecule
behaves differently from water vapor in the atmosphere.  I'm not sure of
that, but hope springs eternal :-)
