Saw this article on Wren's Nest. The first paragraph really, really sickened me.

Military casts Wicca in the shadows (Contra Costa Times)

"After U.S. military personnel pelted American Wiccan servicemen and servicewomen in Iraq with bottles and rocks as they worshipped in a sacred circle, the Pentagon turned to Patrick McCollum of Moraga.

The chaplain, a national expert on the earth-based Wicca religion, conjured a little Wicca 101 for the troops."


The article also says:

"An advisory team became a Pentagon priority when Wiccan military personnel reported problems while conducting rites and religious activities.

The Wiccans said that some chaplains were trying to convert them and that commanding officers made it difficult to practice, McCollum said"


It's really sickening and disheartening that *some* US service personnel would treat their fellow service personnel in such a disgraceful fashion.

Saddened, yes. Sickened, yes. But not surprise.

Calif. Court Voids S.F. Same-Sex Marriages

*sigh*

Would be so nice if my friends in same-sex relationships had the exact same right to marry that *I* have.

Hopefully, once people realize that Mass. legalization of same-sex marriages wasn't the end of the world, it will start a trend that allows them in this state as well.

My heart goes out to those that were just told that their marriage was "invalid" though.

Why am I suddenly having a Julian May flashback?? (I seem to remember one of her books had a mention about one of the ships conducting survellance of Earth exploding over Siberia.....)

"Russian scientists claim discovery of alien spaceship wreck in Siberia"

Besides, as any Spider Robinson fan knows, the reason for the Tunguska blast was Nikola Tesla......

"Karl Rove is a master politician, and I'm willing to follow him over the cliff" --- Rev. Jerry Falwell

Hmmm..... I seem to recall a rather appropriate quote from the Bible along those lines.....(rummage rummage)

“He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?” --- Jesus Christ, Luke 6:39 (NIV)

Oookay.....

Bronzerider
Bronzerider! Like B'lerion, F'lessan, and K'net
you would ride a bronze dragon, the largest of
the males. You are intelligent and courageous,
and have the leadership ability it takes to
lead a wing into Threadfall. More than
anything, you love the thrill of riding a
flaming dragon.

You speak eloquently and have seemingly read every
book ever published. You are a fountain of
endless (sometimes useless) knowledge, and
never fail to impress at a party.
What people love: You can answer almost any
question people ask, and have thus been
nicknamed Jeeves.
What people hate: You constantly correct their
grammar and insult their paperbacks.


What Kind of Elitist Are You?
