@DrWatson
in a previous comment, i mentioned to you that I would like to make 2 comments regarding the 1999 film "Inherit The Wind." the first comment was in that comment, and the 2nd one is here below.

in the film there is a small character played by William Sanderson

He plays a man who lives in the small town where the trial is being held. At one part of the movie, there is an outdoor fair and Jack Lemmon's character (Drummon) attends the fair, even though he already knows that he is persona non grata there. The William Sanderson char comes up to Drummond and says "You know we're just simple folks here. Why don't you just leave us alone?" and then he sticks his tongue out at Drummond to emphasize his point. Drummond shyly looks down and walks away without a word.

I cannot say that I would have the right argument to make on the tip of my tongue, if i were Drummond in that moment. But here is what I believe is the best answer to this man, and anyone else like him, including people who use simple minds:

[b]The question is not about leaving anyone alone. The question is whether or not in a country that upholds individual freedom, justice and equal treatment under the law, that a person can be condemned to a criminal penalty of a jail sentence for the act of speaking about evolution in a public school, or any public place.
