The Catonsville Nine original 5/17/68 footage

Deemed too dangerous for broadcast in May 1968, the iconic footage of nine Catholic activists burning draft files might have been lost forever if not for Pat McGrath — a dogged and sympathetic reporter, who has struggled to ensure its preservation.

They just weren't the silly Noah story.

Flood stories are a species memory of what happened at the end of the last Ice Age. Se rise was drastic and occasionally sudden when ice dams collapsed. It would be remarkable if people didn't have legends about losing so much of their home lands. I buy the flood stories, but only to a point.

But no, they don't prove one of the silliest stories in a book chock full of silly things.
