Re: THE NEW NEO-NAZI's
Palestinian suicide cowards
OT, I know, but where do WT, GW Bush, and all those other folks get off calling suicide attackers "cowards?" That's one thing they aren't. Nutsoid, maybe, but not chicken.

WT, may I assume that Employment Division vs Smith was a decision that held that peyote was illegal even if used in religious services?

It is better that peyote eating wackos be able to ingest drug at religious services, than for the government to use this as precedent/pretext to declaw the First Amendment.
You're damn right, but I wouldn't characterize the Native American Church folks I knew in Oklahoma as "wackos." Good, solid members of society, and pretty quiet people. And their peyote eating "neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg", to aggrandize some Jefferson.
