How dare they use their vouchers to send their kids to a non-Xtian school! What if they were having their kids learn how to be terrorists???!!!! OMFG! Funny how school vouchers kind of cooled off after that, huh?<br /><br />One thing you can always count on: Xtians of this ilk A) will never be satisfied with what they get; B) don't think through what would happen if they get what they say they want; C) and they'll have their real motives exposed when they do get it. Always.<br /><br />--LJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-1102477204582683712004-12-07T19:40:00.000-08:002004-12-07T19:40:00.000-08:00Frankly, the Audhumla cow theory sounds pretty per...Frankly, the Audhumla cow theory sounds pretty persuasive. So your plan might well backfire, and we'd enter a period of Norse fundamentalism.
