Via Flutterby: Justice Kennedy is going to teach morals:

He dismissed the suggestion that skeptics might view the program as a mere show of patriotism.

"Our purpose, our mission is to share democracy with the world," he said.

That and the justice department is covering up semi-nude statues in their building.

Ashcroft and Kennedy illustrate why we should try to keep religionists out of government. Although I've read that Ashcroft didn't know about the curtains, I'm sure his influence was there.

Relgionists start off innocently enough — if you think that codifying morality into law is innocent — but the end result is the removal of choice for the individual and the elevation of Government to God. The religionists end up making government their religion which they must then "share with the world".

Another update to blogger.el. This update adds the ability to edit previously posted items as well as delete items. Oh, and I tested it against Xemacs and fixed a keymap incompatibility.
