And there's the issue of the state encouraging people to believe the risible mythology of Genesis as though it were literally true. And the fact that the mere presence of an Ark Museum within its borders renders the state of Kentucky something of a laughingstock.<br /><br />But the real problem is, how is the Ark Encounter going to compete with Dan Land? Because given the choice of spending all day gazing at fiberglass mold casts of Lot's Sodium-Enriched Wife and terrified kangaroo babies caged next to the velociraptors, I'd much, much rather help sarcastic homosexuals and their friends make a collection of cocktails disappear as though by magic.Burt Likkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060980744675990412noreply@blogger.com
