Let Us Again Praise Famous Men

Frank Rich, yet again.

From this story comparing the era of Kinsey with our own hotly repressive era:

"Elsewhere in "Kinsey," we watch desperate students pepper their professor with a series of uninformed questions: "Can too much sex cause cancer? Does suppressing sex lead to stuttering? Does too much masturbation cause premature ejaculation?" Though that sequence takes place in 1939, you can turn on CNN in December 2004 and watch Genevieve Wood of the Family Research Council repeatedly refuse - five times, according to the transcript - to disown the idea that masturbation can cause pregnancy."

and a little nugget I wanted to highlight from the same article:

"The Washington Post reports that this year some 40 states are dealing with challenges to the teaching of evolution in public schools."

That's 40 STATES. Last time I checked, that's 4 out of 5 dentists who prefer complete, total fabrications to scientific fact.
