- My ultra-conservative uncle sends me a lot of email. Mostly it's all of the Rights talking points, but yesterday he sent me this jingoistic bit about how 86% of this country is Christian (incorrect) and that because they have the majority they should tell all of us who believe differently to "sit down and shut up".

- A nice collection of quotes here. I always appreciated Thomas Jefferson particularly on this front (and in numerous other ways).
