If Atheists Left America
I've seen it before but it's still good:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbef07aQtB8&feature=related

I know who most of these people are.
Would somebody help me identify some of the people in it?
Under "intellectuals" -- who's the first older guy in the blue shirt? Then who is the curly headed dollface next after that?

First scientist at :21 is James Watson next to DNA helix, who's the gray haired guy after him sitting in a chair?

Who is the young fellow at :45 right after Chomsky?

Who is the guy after Hitchens standing at a podium?

Thanks!!!

4. Sociobiology was a hot topic when I was in College.
I was a biology major and E.O. Wilson was talked about a lot.
