I watched a few seconds of the promo a week ago - and switched channels ... finally settling for off. If something has some guy/gal with two last names, you know it will be bad/liberal dog poo.

Yet, persecution of scientists with a point of view different from the mainstream goes on, and on, with the scientist in question eventually proven correct, even if it takes hundreds of years.

I remember in college, all those long decades ago, being told in Geology 101 that mountains were created by the wearing down of the land over eons ... it was settled science.

Some grad student, leading the class one day, mentioned there was some guy with the wacky theory that the surface of the Earth was composed of plates which moved! And these collided to make mountains ... a good laugh was had by all.

Then years later, after the scientist had died ignored and disgraced, some other grad student proved he was right ... and so the science of plate tectonics came to be.
