Yup. Keep up the fight for civil rights!

As for Galileo, that poor old man suffered greatly for espousing honesty and factual science! It wasn't until approximately 400 years later that the Holy See retracted its brand of heretic from his soul. However, it never fully and completely apologized for its wrongdoing in incarcerating Galileo in "house arrest" for the remainder of his life or for labeling Galileo as a heretic! How stupid can it get? Truth be told, the Holy Roman Catholic Church stands firmly in its belief that the sun still revolves around it, and it alone! eh.
