Well of course they are. Just keep them dumb and distracted with cheap
beer, pro football and scary terrorist monsters lurking behind every
door and a fool like Bush can do whatever daddy's pals tell him.

The religous gene frequently seems to coexist with the intolerance gene, so I'll
probably stir up as big a hornets nest as you, Harry.

I am currently cruising in Australia and was watching the equivalent of PBS TV
the other night. Incidentally, Australian TV is much more robust and obviously
less censored than American TV.

A bishop was defending why his church had no ordained lady priests on the grounds
that all of Jesus's deciples were male.

The interviewer then quietly asked how many male priests were Arabic Jews as were
all the deciples.

Bishop walked out of interview.
