First, the UN Declaration of Human Rights had the US as a major sponsor and signatory. But it is a declaration, not a binding treaty. Its purpose is to motivate, not legislate.

I'm just wondering... if Jesus were alive today, do you think he'd draw a picture of Muhammad?

Oh, I don't question at all that such things are often justified, one way or the other, I just find it interesting that people can always come up with a reason to allow whatever exceptions to the Golden Rule they want. It's extraordinarily convenient how malleable and versatile some religions...

There must be more to that story. There were a few times over the 5 years where they tried to not pay me what was promised, but I refused to back down and got my money every time.

Blind man walks down the street literally brandishing a cane, drawing attention to himself, disturbing the peace. I don't see any difference between the blind man and Puffy.

Fortunately, in a van, I don't have to deal with that very often. Only once in all this time have I been approached. I'm sure there are those who look upon truck drivers in general, and van expediters in particular, and wonder what all has gone wrong in their lives to make them so desperate to...

At least you've learned to spell.

It's easy to hit a CRTL key combination that can do weird things to the display. F11 is also one that freaks a lot of people out when they've hit it by mistake.

I feel all warm and fuzzy.

Huh? Who is everyone laughing at? Obama? Alexander Eichler? An EO member? If everyone is laughing, I don't want to miss out.
