“So your site is pro liberal too!! Its great to find more baby killing hippy tree huggers who think we came from a puddle of mud not minding to BREAK THE !#@! LAW…. Spend the money to see the movie!!! Why not.. Some of your “tree of lie” believing friends probably were involved in the pre & post production…

P.S. The CG rendered chick at the top of your page lacks in every form of the art.. Someone give the artist a basic tutorial on using Maya, 3ds, or Poser for character design!!!! Jesus saves!!!”

Well, I’m not sure Jesus would approve of your comments since I had to remove the vile language before posting this diatribe. First, for the record, I am a fiscal conservative and I am definitely not a liberal. I do like trees but I am not a baby killer, however I can’t be sure that my tax dollars haven’t killed a few babies in Iraq. Moreover, I do think for myself and I have found numerous fossils over the years that need a narrative that is a little more compelling than the one provided by a two thousand year old collection of disparate short stories.

As to DRM, I understand you guys believe in literal interpretations but when I wrote the column about the Expelled bootleg I was being satirical, hello. And no I will not spend my money on Expelled, no more than I expect you to read a book about Darwin or science for that matter. As to the origin of life from a mud puddle, hey I guess I missed that one but with the intellectual acuity being demonstrated by some of these creationist arguments it probably isn’t that far off the mark.

On the other hand, it is refreshing to hear that the creationist lobby is so concerned about DRM so hopefully they will urge the producers of Expelled to address their unsanctioned usage of the John Lennon song “Imagine” in the movie. Oh, yeah I forgot, fair use, that’s the argument I will use when I get my bootleg.

As to the CG chick I’m sorry you find the image disappointing but if that is all you have to worry about I would heartily recommend that you get out and get a girlfriend because you sound like a backed up fourteen year old to me. Now get out of here and go make some little Christians will ya!

I wrote this almost a year ago and finally saw Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed on NetFlix. I fell asleep watching it and it was truly craptacular. I did get a very refreshing nap from the movie.
