... to forestall any and all personal questions, let me tell you about myself. I am a three-foot high albino dwarf with a wooden leg and a vicious squint only partially disguised by an eye-patch. On my left shoulder (the hunched one) I usually have a drunken parrot called Pedro, who can curse fluently in several languages. When they allow me access to the internet at the home for the mentally bewildered where I am incarcerated I like to stumble, but because of the medication I can't take responsibility for anything I do or say here. There, I hope that clears things up..:)

This is an article written by a reputable journalist which exposes plans by the Bush administration to con the American public into yet another war. If true, its hard to think of an action by a government that is more heinous or more demanding of the impeachment of whichever President was in charge of it. If this is how the administration has been working then, regardless of what was done in this case, it calls into question all previous 'outrages' that have made the public support the governments actions. How many of them were faked ? Its a legitimate question. At the very least, and until proved right or wrong, this is a big enough story to have been picked up by all major TV channels and newspapers and be receiving intense scrutiny. At the very least congressmen and senators should be asking hard questions and demanding straight answers. But none of that is happening. You have to wonder why.

From the page: "A Sikh teenager excluded from school for breaking a 'no jewellery' rule by refusing to remove a wrist bangle which is central to her faith was a victim of unlawful discrimination, a judge ruled today". What an odd ruling. Banning all jewelry from state-run schools has always made some sense on health and safety grounds, so kids don't have earrings ripped out or get garroted by trailing necklaces during boisterous play. It also makes some sense to try for a level playing field at school, where the underprivileged kid doesn't have to have the fact rubbed in by sitting next to the local millionaires daughter dripping in 'bling'. That 'equality' is part of what school uniforms are supposed to achieve. Theres also a good argument for banning the wearing of all religious symbols in state schools to minimize social divisiveness. Theres plenty of that outside school without importing it there. So all in all I think this is probably a bad decision. Obviously now christians, pagans, satanists, and every other religion, big and small, will rightly expect equal treatment. The sound of cans of worms being opened up is deafening :)
