A good group of links. Was particularly interested in why Jews think we're on the wrong track equating Arizona with Nazism.
I can certainly sympathize with their position but I think we have to take steps to ensure that we don't become a totalitarian nation.
Events in Arizona are very unsettling in that regard.
And I can't help but quote this line from the Rand Paul article.
"Republicans are unappeased. They want handouts for nobody."
Except themselves.
Dawkins "The God Delusion" finally arrived at my branch library. Have a couple of other books waiting in line before I can get to it.
Great links - and I love the zebra story!
