"Barney Ban" Will Protect Children, Says State Attorney General Kline.
Legislative Leaders' Goal: "Healing Wounds of Darwinism"
May 13, 2005
Satire by David Albrecht
TOPEKA, KS - Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline stunned many Kansans
yesterday by announcing that books, toys and cartoons depicting or
featuring dinosaurs were now illegal across the state.
Kline, no stranger to controversy on such hot-button issues as
abortion and gun control, defended the actions of the Kansas
Legislature, which in a special late-night session overrode Democratic
Governor Kathleen Sebelius' veto of the Childrens' Defense & Truth in
Science Act.
"The people of the Sunflower State understand rock-bottom honesty," he
said. "They know that this is not some sort of anti-science
conspiracy. We're not moving backwards. We simply believe that this is
the best way possible to heal the partisan wounds that decades of rule
by the secular left have inflicted on this state."
Kline emphasized that information on dinosaurs would remain available
to students in university paleontology classes, provided they supplied
waivers signed by their parents or guardians.
The new state law, effective immediately, makes it illegal for Kansans
to purchase for or supply to children any book, toy, game, video or
electronic media which portrays dinosaurs or "to import, send or ship"
any such materials into Kansas from outside the state.

I had a nieghbor in GA who's father had fundimentalists views (and
consequently, got me interested in the creo/evo debate) had been away for a
while. His mom had bought him a couple of those cheap dinosaur toys from
wal-mart. When the father came back (he had been on deployment with the
army for six months) and found the dinosaurs, he threw them away and told
the kid that "they would take him away from God!"
So, the above article, though parody, isn't too far from the truth of the
way some FundoNazi's think. Sort of like Dr Zaius in the original Planet of
the apes movie when he crumpled up the apaer airplan Taylor had made, and
said something like, "It does not exist, because it cannot exist"

That is dumb! For most of my life I have been surrounded by dinosaurs
and they never, not even once take me away from God. What a dumb,
stupid lie and a dumb, stupid statement as well.

I agree. However, it does demonstrate how insecure the fundy mindset is
when it comes to evidence that conflicts with their belies.

Ahhh, if only it were true. Just picture Kline reading the AIG website
and finding out dinosaurs are mentioned in the bible.

Funny but it has a flaw in characaturing. They have no problem with dinos as long as the liberals
do not forcably segregate them from humans. Many depictions are acceptable leading to the following.
Dear creationists,
The Flintstones was just a cartoon. Alley Oop was just a comic strip.
Please grow up.
