So I'm leaving the gym this morning and a gentleman is on his way in. I say hello and so does he. I think I'm going to hold the door for him and head on my way. But I'm wrong. As he's walking toward the door he says to me "Go see the movie 'Expelled'" I've never heard of it, so I say "ok, thanks" and again think I'm heading on my way. But I'm still wrong. He asks if I've heard of it, and when I say no he tells me "In my opinion, it's the most important movie created in the last 25 years. It's only playing until Thursday. The politically correct people won't let it play longer than that." And by this time I'm almost to my car and really do head on my way.
So what, you might ask, is 'Expelled' - as it turns out it's a movie about how those who support the creation theory as opposed to evolution are essentially condemned in the science world. Aye, aye aye. I thought I was removed from this stuff when I left RR...but no. It's like these people haunt me. The good news, though, is that in this case I will hopefully not be confronted by him again and will therefore not have to ever pretend like I want to see this movie or like it really is the most important thing created in the last 25 years. Unlike how I used to have to bite my tongue when Drew M. talked about "curing" homosexuality and when I was forced to staff a booth at the Right to Life masses. It's just so good to not have to hide my real opinion. I really think I'm not thankful enough for that right in my life...
