A high turn out at the teabaggers protest will only show what we already know...

That there is a lot of ignorance in this country. Their march only proves that Education and Healthcare need an overhaul.

1. The good news is that they've had a pitiful turnout

5. Education and healthcare need an overhaul, but there's not much we can do about religion

There are so many churches in this country pumping ignorance into peoples' heads every Sunday (yeah, yeah, not all churches -- the Unitarians are cool, for example).
