What are the compromises of the written word? This was the question I asked myself as I sat down at my desk at Holt, Rinehart & Winston Publishers in 1979 and began editing the "evolution disclaimer." The disclaimer would appear in every sixth grade science book adopted by the state of Texas. It was just a sentence or two. It said that although the textbook did discuss Darwin's theories of evolution, it was by no means an annulment of Adam and Eve. - Bruce Benderson |
we will not go mad! we will not eat cows! we will not support the golden arches! we will not ordain ourselves burgher kings! we will not excrete the brainwashed masses! we will not stake our future on beefed up charges! we will not kow-tow to the meat industry! instead:
we will become vegetables! - Cynthia Kitchen |
