Aside: Legislating Religion, Culture and Pluralism

After reading some of the comments on my YouTube station, I felt like I needed to respond to the elephants in the room (actually, it may have been a herd on the verge of stampeding). It is dangerous to allow fear and bigotry into legislation. It has lasting implications and frequently aftershocks continue and reverberate in ways that are unexpected and unpredictable. It is also dangerous to put up walls where we should be extending hands in friendship and seeking avenues of common ground.

Beyond all this, don't you EVER legislate my God. Separation of church and state is about freedom from someone else's god as much as it is about freedom to worship your own.

Aside: Stupid Sarkozy

Now, I know people all have different ideas about burkas, BUT there are some other considerations that people need to think about before legislating against them.
