What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

church ≠ state
Interesting article on the ten most "devout" Congressmen. Number 10 on the list, Rep. Robin Hayes (R-NC), actually stated at a town hall meeting in 2006 that "stability in Iraq ultimately depends on spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, good will towards men. Everything depends on everyone learning about the birth of the Savior." Oh, so the Iraq conflict is about religion now? (I'm sure many would hope so.) Thank goodness it's not about weapons of mass destruction. Oh wait, it's not about that either.
