Watching Jason Robards and Kirk Douglas in Inherit the Wind was a chilling reminder of where our country has been and how much it has reverted in recent times. Of course, the fundies never really went away, but they do have more of a voice, now, than they did even then, in some ways. It was stunning to actually see a banner across the front of the courthouse remind all to "read their Bible daily" then to hear Robard's character demand a similar banner which would read "read your Darwin daily." Reminds me of the judges who want to keep the Ten Commandments in stone in their courtrooms.

I wish we had people as eloquent, now, as they were back then, to argue the case against the shrub and his ultra-wrong crew.
