But, here we are, after the year 2000, working desperately to hold off the neomedieval agenda of the religious right wing of the Republican Party. Personal rocket ships and robot companions we don't have. What we do have are prominent politicians trying to make science subservient to religion, as it was back in the Dark Ages. They are trying to undo the Copernican Revolution, installing Christian fundamentalist ayatollahs to dictate truth, regardless of what the research says.
