As a rule, because it's so easy, I don't do it! And while I appreciate
your attempt to moderate, I thing you got the wrong end of the stick.
Which is not surprising given your own religious convictions and your
environment. But it is the other way round! Look at it, just for a
moment, objectively: have you ever seen a quote, say, from Koran, or
perhaps from Karl Marx, on this list?! No. But the non-Christians are
treated, daily, with a barrage of fundamentalist Christian claptrap
and they are required to endure it. And they usually do, with dignity.
And if they don't, C&KL rushes to open the sewers to drown them.
I realize, you guys in North America are subjected to so much of this
obnoxious propaganda, you have probably become quite immune to it, you
no longer notice the nonsense, but the rest of the world has moved on
and would not tolerate it. But, as they say, it's your own freedom and
that of your children that's at stake...
Personally, I can't care less whether you still believe in a tooth
fairy or not, but when you come to this party, please leave your
religious paraphernalia behind. jiri

Damn! You mean no more BASIC bashing?!?

(Even with these new rules, we should still be able to
recognize C for what it really is: deviously encoded satanic messages
promoting the consumption of drugs - such as Jolt Cola and Twinkies!)
