Alan: With 30 minutes left in "The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind," a father and son lock horns.

One fellow is absolutely certain he knows what is best, and the other -- grounded in research, science, study and The Scientific Method -- actually, provably, knows what is best.

Everyone who watches this movie will benefit.

Most particularly, every American "conservative" "should" watch this fine film from start to finish, preferably reviewing the "linchpin encounter" several times.

It is not enough to believe we are right, even if we think Jesus Himself has whispered his personal "imprimatur" in our ear.
