Only the Strong Survive



I am so tired of reading headlines like this one (In Kansas, Darwinism Goes on Trial Once More), that I'd like to put forward a little deal. You can teach creationism if you foresake everything that science has given humanity. Little Jimmy better pray that God cures his infected cut, but you can make damn sure that the Topeka school system won't be shoving some nonsense about evolution down his throat. That seems fair (and it will cull the weak, ensuring only the strong survive).

I'd like something similar imposed now that Bush has signed the so-called "Family Entertainment and Copyright Act." Sure the bill was basically a give-away to Utah-based ClearPlay, Inc., but if Christians don't want their children seeing the naughty bits on DVDs I can see the angle. If they are willing to stop griping about "morals" in entertainment (while Tivo-ing Desperate Housewives), then they can edit all the movies they want, as long as those movies only feature 80's megastar Steve Guttenberg. Everybody wins, and we'd be doing Guttenberg a solid.

I wonder if "Family Entertainment and Copyright Act" could be interpreted in such a way that I could dodge copyright laws while producing DVDs featuring all the naughty bits that ClearPlay edits out? I would make millions shipping these on the sly to Christian teens curious about what Jesus doesn't want them to see. Shit, who needs a job when I've got schemes like this?

Don't forget bleedings, Joel. One must restore balance in the four humours.
