Far be it from me to even hint that people should not have the absolute right to believe as they wish, or even to try and convert others peaceably and unintrusively to their way of thinking, but I do not agree with any religion being muddled up or included in/with what should be the very limited business of the state. As for my week-end (thanks for asking), with the exception of a going away party on Friday night it's been nice and quiet..... full of reading (I currently have Terry Pratchett's "<a href="http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/0060013117.asp" rel="nofollow">Night Watch</a>" on the coffee table), mundane tasks like laundry and planning for the bunkers ultimate benevolent world domination, and (of course) socializing with friends.

As for my week-end (thanks for asking), with the exception of a going away party on Friday night it’s been nice and quiet….. full of reading (I currently have Terry Pratchett’s “Night Watch” on the coffee table), mundane tasks like laundry and planning for the bunkers ultimate benevolent world domination, and (of course) socializing with friends.

I hope yours is going equally well.

I do not hate Hillary or Obama, but I do disagree with their policies. Does this make me evil? No, it does not. I'm tired of all this bickering among us. It is up to you and me to come together on the those policies in which we do agree (such as FREE SPEECH, FREEDOM OF (NOT FROM) RELIGION, PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS, etc.), and we need to keep a watchful and skeptical eye on every gov't official. Especially those that answer to no one! Can I get an agreement on at least this? Hey there, Stageleft. How is your weekend going? Sorry for tb'ing this so late, but I just ran across it. I published quite a few posts after it, and it got buried. It should not have, I agree. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, dear.
