"Can't you understand? If you take a law like evolution and you make it a crime to teach it in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools. And tomorrow you may make it a crime to read about it. And soon you may ban books and newspapers. And then you may turn Catholic against Protestant, and Protestant

Great book, great movie.

But - and don't drop your jaw just yet - I have my own skeptical eye toward evolutionary theory being the only thing taught to kids. I'm not going to get into it, because I'll be here all day typing out the reasons I say that and I have things to do... but I will explain later.

Bueno.

What other scientific theories are you referring to? For some reason people are trying to push "Intelligent Design" as if it has any scientific merit whatsoever.

The earth is balanced on the back of a huge turtle. Come on Mike. Jeez.

They should totally teach Creationism in school too, along with the explanation of how, if Adam and Eve were the first two people and they had two sons, how the hell they we all got here. A big chapter in the history textbooks of America: "Cain and Abel: Earth's First Motherfuckers; Incest Consecrated By God".

Did I ever thank you for making me love Rascal Flatts?

[wild_magnolia]

No but YAY! That's awesome! How did that happen?

Sadly, most of them couldn't work a VCR, much less a DVD player, much less understand the point. Or remember who Spencer Tracy was.

Ah, Spencer Tracy. We need you now.

:sits glumly:
