I want a shirt stating I'm "Terrorist Free"- as certified by the F.B.I. (followed by a small disclaimer on their track record on detecting/fighting terrorism).

If you ever find a person/place that will make one for you, let me know. I want one that says "BOB DYLAN IS COOLER THAN YOU."

Oh, and banning burqas is not a Good ThingTM. As Jonah said, all it really amounts to is an imposition on people's freedom, however good the intentions behind it are. Everyone should be encouraged to make her/his own choices about how to represent her/himself through what she/he wears.

I agree, it's just difficult to allow them everywhere...a little common sense on the wearer's side goes a long ways.
As does common sense by everyone else in a public setting.

Still, this is all politics- even Israel is not going for this (and if anyone would have a legitimate reason, it's them).

But Bob Dylan ISN'T cooler than me. Uglier, to be sure, but not cooler.

Oops, I accidently smote Charles, I hope he's not too terribly upset.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I cannot accept.
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of all the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.

Remember when your parents told you it's dangerous to play in traffic?

That depends on one's definition of "rich."
