Oh. Duh! I didn't even think of that, and I should. Honestly, I don't know anything about Bindi. I thought the dot was a cultural thing, not a religious thing. Like nose piercings here :)

I'm not sure why that would insult Hindus, but I'm always happy to expand my demographic of insulted persons.

I agree completely. I've had to explain the water fountain thing to family members befoore. Some people just don't get that separate but equal isn't good enough. The South Park episode lambasted this concept when they allowed gay marraige, "But instead of being called hsuband and wife, you will be called butt-buddies." Making fun of the idea that something that has to be called a different name can ever actually be equal.

Even *prisoners* *in a prison* have the right to practice religion however they see fit. "Congress shall make no law prohibiting religion". This is the very first and highest law of the land, above all other laws. This is unconstitutional.

What you people don't seem to understand is that freedom isn't free. It comes with a very high price of allowing people you don't like to do things you don't like. If you want the form of justice you describe, you should probably move to Saudia Arabia.

Excess CPU cycles require more powerful cooling fans too. So we can call them hot heads while we're at it :)

Another quote:

Homer Simpson: "Stupid Lisa! Facts can be used to prove *anything*!"

Queue up the conservatives saying this is how police should act and liberal scum are ruining the country for bothering to take issue with things like this.

I like to think our burning of fossil fuels is simply something to keep the light on while we figure out a proper solution.

Oh man... I'm sorry I missed that on FB!
