First Freedom First

Check out the past weekend's Blog Against Theocracy, and the website First Freedom First. A great site. Sign the petition. And Happy Easter to those who observe. And check out "Through A Glass Darkly" in Harpers. The first two sentences should hook you. It's an interesting article by Jeff Sharlet.

Thanks for the plug for the Blog Against Theocracy weekend - as you know we need lots'a peeps to start thinking about this.

Best regards,
