People who do not believe that man evolved from apes should be forced to spend
several hours in the food court at the mall in Joplin, Missouri.
Just sit there and watch the crowds. At
the end of that hour, you will believe one of two things:
Either men are
descended from apes, or it’s the other way around.
When
Star Trek VI opened in the mall at Joplin, Missouri, I saw a number of people
arrive for the opening, all dressed as Klingons. The problem was that it was difficult to tell
where the make-up left off and the naturally-sloping foreheads began.
A few years later the film Gods & Monsters (1998) played in the same Joplin theater. In this movie, the main character, played by Brendan Fraser, says he is from Joplin. That characterization is key to understanding the film. FYI
