   [2]Solomonia links to this [3]video (and [4]transcript), saying:

     Haven't you ever wanted to go into the past with a video camera to
     witness and film the past? That's what this is like -- the Dark
     Ages with production values. Every American should watch this. This
     is what the culture war is about, and why we need to be concerned
     with immigration and institutions telling us we need to "respect
     the other" without major conditions attached...

     ...There is much more, including one outnumbered man arguing for
     free will. He's outnumbered. We can only wish him luck.

   I've often failed to convince people on sites like [5]Dean's World
   that "radical" ideas like the [6]separation of church and state or the
   Enlightenment are valid.

   There's no need to go back in time to see the dark ages. They're here.
