YA TAAA!!!

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." ---- Constitution of the United States of America, Amendment 1.

Finally someone gets it right.
I read this story from CNN.com "Wiccan symbol OK for soldiers' graves", and while i am overjoyed that My religion is being Honored in this way that is is not what i mean by "getting it right". down at the very end of the article. the last sentence. quote: Variations of the pentacle not accepted by Wiccans have been used in horror movies as a sign of the devil. (emphasis added) that little "not" means the world to me. it shows that at least one person (and their editor) understands that, to paraphrase Mama Silver, we don't like it when someone turns our religious symbol upside down any more than Christians do.

Which of the X-Men Are You?

Oddly the above result was a surprise to me. I've always identified with Nightcrawler. in any case that's not important.
This is. A friend has come back from Iraq. unfortunately he's the only one for now. another friend still has about three months to go unless the extend his stay without telling him till the last minute, Much like they did when he was told he was shipping out. but i digress.
i guess the truth of the matter is i don't don't know what to think. you see the friend in question took loads of pictures in Iraq and put them up on Flicker. this doesn't bother me, quite the opposite. I'm proud of him that he is able to utilize his talents so skillfully.
what bothers me is what other will do with those pictures. y'see, believe it or not a well known talking head has decided that they like his pictures too. this is a person who views on politics and this war differ dramatically. I feel no ill will toward this celebrity and wish them all the freedoms this fine country has and a few that somewould take away by claiming we never had them.
follow the clues and maybe you'll figure out who I'm talking about.
i am not one for calling people out no matter what fools they have made of themselves.
