At 15, one begins to 'think' about "the rules"....thank you, Otto Preminger

I remember well, in 10th grade Biology class.....Evolution was mentioned as a 'Theory', unsubstantiated by "Science"!.....Of course, I was in an Alabama Public High School, where the teaching of EVOLUTION was still prohibited. My parents took me to see INHERIT THE WIND that year, at the big movie house, downtown......"Authorities" raided the theater and confiscated the Film!.........as they had done when another film, THE MOON IS BLUE, a couple of years before dealt with adult men, pursuing a much younger woman's virginity........I wrote a paper that year, for 'CIVICS' class, on "The necessary separation of Church from State", for which I was sternly reprimanded for being a 'trouble maker'......Middle finger alert....on both hands!
