Now that’s an interesting email, in response to Monday’s G-File:
Dear Mr. Goldberg,
We must rescue Bryan in the Scopes trial from all the lies arising from
that work of fiction–Inherit The Wind. Bryan won fair and square, i.e.,
he outsmarted Darrow, and in a way that should make all us right wingers
proud. The evidence is in the actual court transcript.
Bryan went back and read Darrow’s summation in the Leopold-Loeb
trial. Darrow pleaded for their lives by suggesting that the University of
Chicago was partially to blame by exposing the poor lads to library shelves
of books by NIETZSCHE! His teachings were swallowed by the boys and drove
them to murder poor Bobby Franks. Well, Bryan argued, in few of that
argument, why couldn’t the state of Tennessee elect to protect younger
children from the dehumanizing teaching that men are descended from apes,
and therefore liberated from Bible morality. Bryan was not against
evolution as a capitalist tool, but as an instrument of Godless
amorality. AND he beat Darrow fair and square with Darrow’s own words!
