Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

My family went to see Expelled last night, and we all loved it!  It was amazingly well done, and very thought provoking.
It was basically a documentary done by Ben Stein about how our freedom of expressing our views, and of questioning evolution is slowly and methodically being taken away.  Mr. Stein found out that there are many people [...]

…trip continued…

Okay, sorry for taking a while to get back to this.  I’ve been very slowly recovering.
