Oh, I only posted that in light-hearted jest by poking a little fun at you.
I apoligize if you didn't think it was funny, as my brand of humor can be hit or miss, but I didn't mean anything by it.
By all means, take your time. I'm not rushing you. I'm probably looking at a long absence myself before too long as I may be moving out of state sometime within this or next month. Also - dealing with taxes and other projects I've held off a little too long and hopefully a new job.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church.

Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
