The flock of sheep

The Chicago Tribune has a story about how easy it is to fleece religious types.

I guess it's not surprising. If you can believe in magic beings who live in the clouds then you can pretty much swallow anything.

You do know that makes no sense at all, right?

It doesn't matter what I beleive. We live in a country with a President who thinks he's doing God's will by killing non-believers. He's insane and most of American accepts it because they believe that it's actually possible that he really is doing God's will.

I know that probably seems just fine to you. It scares me.

The society her in Cushing is very insular. When I went to get a library card I had to give them two names of someone I knew in town who had a listing in the phone book. You can't be a library card here if you're new to town.

I'm not sure I'd call those who want to shut out outsiders in that way nice people. Do they even know that many people these days don't even have a landline phone? My phone has a Gulfport, MS phone number.
