Hello everyone.  I just wanted to say that I appreciate all of the 
thoughtful posts.  Truly, this is a "brain trust." of varying opinions. 
 Too bad the typical "think tanks" don't have this quality of thought. 
 Twas cool to follow this ever-changing thread.
And...Paul, I too wondered how many institutions just rejected the movie 
because they didn't think it would make as much money as other movies...I'm 
near Discovery Place, where John Mackay spoke out for Evolution somewhat 
ardently, but also rejected playing 'Volcanos' "for other reasons."  This 
has lit up the Charlotte newspapers with a number of interesting "letters 
to the editors."
We normally bring in travelling exhibits and movies more for their appeal 
more than for their scientific content.  Don't get me wrong...we don't 
bring in non-scientific exhibits per-say, but an exhibit that has a lot of 
scientific content but sounds boring, probably won't make it here because 
we will expose too few people to it.
