Well, not really, but it might help.
Ben Stein's Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is back in the headlines.
Remember a few weeks ago, not long after the movie hit theaters, Yoko Ono, wife of the late hippie Marxist John Lennon, got upset and decided to sue because Expelled used a brief clip of Lennon's Imagine in the film?
The clip was used under the "fair use doctrine" not to imply that Lennon endorsed the movie (I don't think anyone could be that ignorant), but simply to point out that this popular song represents the kind of world evolutionists want: no heaven, no hell, no religion, just sweet (Marxist) freedom.
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
So, like a good Marxist who believes in "no possessions" and "sharing all the world," Yoko Ono tried to sue because the clip was used without her permission.
If there are no possessions and everyone shares everything, who needs permission, man?
According to Fox News, apparently even our liberal court system saw through this hypocrisy.
In a decision Monday, federal Judge Sidney Stein says the filmmakers are protected under the "fair use" doctrine. That permits small parts of a copyrighted work to be used without an author's permission under certain circumstances.
Good to see that our court system is still capable of sane decisions every now and then.
This whole incident serves as a fresh example of the hypocrisy of Marxism, and how because of the fallen, sinful nature of man, it will never work. Remember George Orwell's "Animal Farm," where "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others"?
That's Marxism. For the elites, it's always, "Good for thee, not for me."
