You certainly are obsessed with Uganda. Have you always been so upset about Uganda? It isn't like they haven't had over-the-line laws against homosexuality for years. And I'm sorry but I don't believe all religious charities are awful because someone involved with a charity happens to know someone that knows someone that knows another person that is involved with a charity in Uganda. I don't believe U.S. religous...

So, Lee, anything to report on this subject? I know you were going to orientation. I just wondered how things were working out.

Majority only rules when it does not infringe upon the rights of any other citizen, in any numbers. Hokey laws and measures can be passed, but when challenged Constitutionally, they will fail. But then of course, people will whine about the unconstitutional act being "tradition". I hardly...

But no one is saying you can't refer to Christmas or your christmas tree by its name at all!

Tiger was stupid to think paying "hush money" would provide him any sort of protection. File under "D" for money down the drain (lots$ of it too) and just plain dumb. A woman willing to take "hush money" = a woman of questionable integrity.

Want a charity where you know the money all goes to helping people? Put together a bag of crackers and dried fruit and nuts and beef jerky and give it to a homeless person. If you like your charity faith-based you can throw in a mini-Bible. Seriously though, not all overhead is created equal. Paid staff aren't a dealbreaker (and the person in charge isn't an exception) because having people full-time allows an organization to be more...
