During this past week I heard a brief news report that just blew my mind. A new IMAX movie has been released, but will not be show in several states. Why you ask? Simple, religious censorship by the governments of those states. The film is about volcanoes, including under-sea volcanoes. Apparently microbes have been found in the water near the underwater volcanoes that have genetic links to humans. The narration in the movie suggests that it potentially supports the notion of evolution. So these states decided this may offend people that do not accept the notion of evolution, but who believe the fairy tale about Adam and Eve instead. What ever happened to free speech? What happened to open minded presentation of information and letting us make a choice for ourselves. Who put these morons that are deciding what I can and cannot see in these positions of power? By the way, these movies are a choice to go and see, and I must pay to see them. Nobody is forcing them down my throat. But my choice has been taken away by a bigot that has decided he or she knows what I should be watching.
Just harping back to the ongoing political farce in Florida, where the Republicans are getting their butts whipped by the Judiciary, I am amazed that people are not asking these self righteous twits to please explain why they went so far as to enact a new law to try and stop a brain dead person from dying, but send thousands of troops to fight and kill or be killed in an unjust and un-needed war. This simply does not make sense. Oh, by the way, for those who did not know this, when George was Texas governor he passed a law in Texas that gave the right of decision making over whether a brain-dead person gets to live or die based on whether there is money to keep them alive. Now, a few years later, that position seems to have changed radically. What, did the hospitals in Florida not give enough to Jed's re-election campaign?
