I hear this morning that the "Life at conception" people are ... not protesting, but Acting Up at showings, echoing the "A person's a person no matter how small" line to support their own views, and handing out "tickets" to that effect.
Which is, apparently, fairly quietly infuriating the Good Doctor's widow.
Not to mention being idiotic. A fully formed person is a person, maybe. The Whos got civ. As opposed to being a few cells that have nine months to grow into a person. Oy.
Argh. I heard about that on NPR this morning. Nothing like a good dose of blinding rage to take you from "walking dead" to "wide awake" in two seconds flat. (It's probably nothing compared to what Dr. Seuss's widow is going through, though. Someone taking the words of your dead husband and twisting them to their own nefarious purposes has got to sting.)
Horton Hears A Who also argues, rather successfully I think, AGAINST the concept of a single all-powerful G-O-D who created everything and rules over all the smallest details with an iron fist. Horton is BIG compared to Whoville, but that's all. He can barely stop them from meeting a terrible end - it takes the Whos, acting upon THEMSELVES, to stop that.
More importantly, the bloody POINT is that the "crazy people" of society who dare to think differently and take philosophy to the next level of understanding are NOT AUTOMATICALLY WRONG, and that the status quo usually IS!
