Yet another fine example of the shape this state is in. Henry Jordan, a member
of the state Board of Education, was in a meeting having one of the usual hissy
fits about religion in public schools. He asked why students could not post the
Ten Commandments in a public school.  When told certain members of other
religious groups might be offended by this act, he responded with a wonderful
piece of Christian Love(tm): "Screw the Buddhists and kill the Muslims. Put
that in the minutes." Wonderful, isn't it? Later, he apologized for his
statements but then, apparantly thinking he was Humpty Dumpty, made another
fine remark:
    "Both of these religions aren't really religions. They're cults--if you
     define a cult as someone who worships someone other than Jesus Christ."

And who can argue with that type of logic? Just to balance the table, here's a
bit of intelligence from South Carolina: Recently plans were announced to
develop a Bible-based theme park in Cherokee County. One of the proposed
activities for guests involved using slingshots to imitate David killing
Goliath. A man wrote a letter to the paper asking where all the outrage about
violent forms of entertainment was. That letter was printed. I wrote a letter,
asking if fathers could sleep with their daughters and if bald guests would be
protected by bears. It wasn't printed.



... Just say "NOOOOOOOOOOOARGHhhhhhh..." to Cthulu.
