Kevin you devisive meanie! You shouldnt pick on the poor defenseless *bible bashers. This is so humorous. People spreading hate about others hate is ok BUT first run hate is bad - unless its referring americans then thats ok as long as you tack a bible quote or two on the end. And free speech is just fine unless of course its counter to your own argument. AND whenever possible you need to assert that grrl power statement because no matter how lame or simple a woman sounds you have to support her. or is it womyn power..? *sigh*

Mandy posted this :

I trust Lisa on her appeal of peace and support her. If we see Americans or 'westerners' engaging in anything like what Lisa saw, we should take the bold step and stop it. Hate-crimes and threats, overt or covert, are not the American way and remember those are against the law!
Kevin is a great guy but I did not like his haste in coming down hard on Lisa for speaking out. This in turn made him sound 'guilty'. Whatever happened to freedom of speech?

Lisa, go girl!

*bible basher - those that wish to cram the word of God down the throats of anyone they come across. Especially fervent when encountering those of a 'heathen' opinion.

I saw that thread. Brought a big smile. No snorting laughter as my parents are in the room, and they already have serious questions about my sanity for watching TV with a notebook computer in my lap.

Definitely going with WebMagic as Bob Driskell. Anybody heard from Goodrich lately? What happened? Is he just away for the season's greetings or has he gone poof in the PNS night?
