I'd like to add my story about protesters. I go to Northern Illinois University and there was a front page story of the university newspaper about local Catholics standing outside the movie theatre with a sign that said : " 'Dogma' mock the church and its God" or some nonsense like that. The protesters hadn't even seen the movie, even when the owner offered them free passes (he wasn't pissed or anything; he had the sensible idea that it was good advertising) When asked why they were protesting something they hadn't seen, ne of them replied, "I don't need to see rape to know what it is." Ouch...their loss, though! ignorance is bliss, I suppose!
