In general, maybe we shouldn't ask the kinds of questions that drive home the point to Christian conservatives how outnumbered they are here. That, after all, is the essence of much of our case against prayer in public schools, courts of law, other venues of "civic religion."

Thanks for the suggestions Anagory. I used Takei as the first poll just because I liked the video.
ReplyDeleteIt's OK to be Takei, and it's OK to say Takei.
ReplyDeleteGeorge is such a brave man with such a great sense of humour!
ReplyDeleteI just wish I could be as awesomely Takei as Takei :-D
