``NO'' TO ENLIGHTENMENT

Southern Baptists should be applauded for having the courage to take on the Disney Corp.

How dare the Disney Corp. make and promote a critically acclaimed movie dealing with adult themes!

What could they have been thinking when they printed and distributed materials to young people which could have promoted understanding and tolerance?

Why on the face of it, that's patently anti-Christian.

The Baptists have a nation's gratitude for their courage in leading the never-ending battle against understanding and tolerance.

So, go get `em, Southern Baptists. The last thing we need is more enlightenment. We cheer you on as you lead the charge into the 13th - oops! - the 21st century.
