Editorial: Religious Student has Right to Hate


A student was suspended from school for passing out leaflets condemning homosexuals...

The difficult part about free speech is defending it even for people who are morally reprehensible, hateful and disgusting. And the difficult part about church/state separation is not only ensuring that the state doesn't advance religion, but also...

This article is great; it has some excellent ideas for protest, such as passing out leaflets condemning people with red hair or with the terrible affliction of lefthandedness.
And more pointedly, it suggests targeting other biblical sins such as touching a woman while she is menstruating, or wearing garments of more than one fibre.

More Coltrane


I'm definitely going to start a music club since so many of you are into it.

Check out this great video by Michael Levy, featuring Coltrane's " Giant Steps."

Today I'm listening to "Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane"

This is a lovely little animation, which follows the music beautifully.
