Business and management guru Peter Drucker has passed away at the age of 95. The business guru market is stuffed with bogus bloviators, but Drucker was the real thing, a true pioneers with innovative ideas and approaches.

Is there any doubt that Intelligent Design is little more than an attempt to end-around creationism into our classrooms? Worse yet: Into our science classrooms. It must be stopped.
