"To those lucid and courageous minds who gave us the Inquisition, the Salem witch trials, Falwell, Robertson and the God-inspired Rule of the Rightous. To those intrepid souls who fight with unflagging zeal to remove from libraries dangerous books they have not read and from theaters those spiritually toxic films they have not seen, believing that thought is a controlled substance and secular thinking hazardous to mental health."
I'd love to hear what he thinks about the current situation.
