There's various links off it to more detail. I did like the quote from one of the team members of "this is something we should be able to poke at with the Large Hadron Collider." 'poke at' - I guess that makes the LHC the biggest, most expensive pointy stick in history then!

This just in: The Republican Party of Texas has released it's official platform. Among other things, they want to criminalize homosexuality *and* they want to make performing a marriage for a gay couple a felony. So, not only the couple, but the priest/pastor/shaman/justice of the peace get to go to prison as well.

Subject: What news story has caught your attention today Posted Jun 22, 2010 by Stealth "Jack" Azathoth This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 8879 From the top of Page 3 of the pdf: "3. We believe that rights belong to people – not groups; therefore, we reject the notion of group-rights and policies that grant preferences based on race or gender. Policies of this type apply a blanket remedy before specific acts of discrimination are proven; thus, such policies compound one injustice with another." From the bottom of the same page of the policy document: "Free Speech for the Clergy – We urge change of the Internal Revenue Code to allow a religious organization to address issues without fear of losing its tax-exempt status. We call for repeal of requirements that religious organizations send government any personal information about their contributors." Only it's worse than that They open with "1. Strict adherence to the Declaration of Independence and U.S. and Texas Constitutions." in their statements of belief, and yet, a good third of their policies are unconstitutional, even if they got this crock onto the state constitution, the federal one takes precedence in law.
