Links are my choice, but do not necessarily reflect my opinion. I often link to articles, sites and blogs with which I disagree.

This article explains those problems. For some reason, the author (or maybe editor) feels obliged to spend the first nine paragraphs explaining that Liberia was founded by freed slaves from the US, and how it still has some US-like ideas (it was officially recognized as an independent country by Abraham Lincoln).

Hood military base allowing Wiccan rituals as well as other faiths' rituals "No one should be singled out for unfair treatment or unkind words because of their ethnic background or religious faith."--George W. Bush, September 14, 2001 I wonder what he thinks of Hindus and Buddhists? [To those who may be wondering... no, I am not Wiccan -- I just support the US Constitution] |
