I was recently reading "Ever Since Darwin" by Stephen Jay Gould, and I came across these two gems, which illustrate what is happening in TX: the joining of two powerful regressive forces.
“If there is any consistent enemy of science, it is not religion, but irrationalism.”
“Louis Aggasiiz, the greatest biologist of mid-nineteenth-century America, argued that God had created blacks and whites as separate species. The defenders of slavery took much comfort from this assertion, for biblical prescriptions of charity and equality did not have to extend across a species boundary.”
Those supporting the law in TX should ask themselves which group they prefer to be in: the racists or the lunatics. If they think there's another choice, they are fooling themselves. Which should surprise no one.
