Nice Guy Eddie, Earth Day was presented to me by the public school system when the very first one occurred in 1970 (if memory serves). It was a down right celebration in our school.
I would love to go down this rabbit trail with you clear to the end, but the moderators would probably eventually pull this discussion. If you want to get this point proven beyond a shadow of a doubt just go to the NEA web site and read what their positions are on every issue imaginable. Issues like homosexuality, nuclear disarmament, early childhood education (like getting your kid in their hands at 2 and 3 years old), evolution, the environment, the political parties and candidates they support, feminism, abortion, and on and on. I realize that you probably will not go there (or many other numerous sites) and do any research, but I did and it was quite a wake up call to me. Take a chance and get informed. There will be no more "innuendo" in your own mind after you do your home work (pun intended :-) ).
