Palin's mix of politics, religion makes her a dangerous leader

Editor,

I appreciate Jacqueline Ritchie's comments about Gov. Sarah Palin, and I wanted to add something she did not mention.

Palin supports teaching creationism in schools and is pro drilling for oil in sensitive ecosystems such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Having your religious beliefs is fine, but it has a separate place from science, education and public schools.

Furthermore, I'd like to add that there is no way I would change my vote just because she is a woman. I am astounded that this could actually sway a voter's choice. She is a dangerous person to have in power.
