Expelled is a film by an American celebrity by the name of Ben Stein (you’d know him if you saw him). It appears to be more creationist hogwash. It appears coloured with this recurring idea of “rebellion” and conspiracy; the suggestion that explains how everyone in the world (especially scientists) are plotting to destroy god-fearing people by concealing the Space Ghost’s works.
The Pharyngula blog is a source of many interesting arguments and anecdotes about how life is in America for the godless. The main author there was expelled from the line by a cop/mall cop/guy with a badge pretending to be a cop. It’s worth reading the article though - there’s a punchline to the whole story that’s even funnier than decrying a conspiracy to deprive people of knowledge and then ejecting opponents.

In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the… Anyone? Anyone?… the Great Depression, passed the… Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?… raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression.
Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. “Voodoo” economics.
