    Little-known fact: evolution was just a smokescreen because they couldn’t actually prosecute him for that hairdo.

    And considering news headlines in the US right now, where certain sections of science are being suppressed, while others are promoted mainly for profit.

    The trial transcript has some great verbal jousting between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan. Bryan was a great orator, but Darrow was able to make him look foolish.

    I think this dude is awesome, but if they were going to arrest him for anything it should have been that hairstyle.

      He was also said to be so frustrated with attempts to debunk his real science that he started snopes.com to combat misinformation. Unfortunately, scopes.com was already taken.

    Much like Rosa Parks, he volunteered to be the test case. They didn’t mind losing because they wanted the issue decided before a higher court.

    Interesting story yesterday:

      The Right learned the lesson, but they fabricate their bullshit grievance by purposely putting someone in a position and forcing bullshit actions so they can get it to the SC.
