On the way home after work tonight, the BBC was running a story about
attempts to ban comedians from making religious jokes, to prevent them
from inciting riots. What are you brits doing over there? Pretty
soon you'll all be sitting around wrapped in bubble wrap and drinking
cold tea!

No, bubble wrap could cause suffocation death and tea could cause
drownings. They'll have none of that! I hope to Buddha that the USA
never becomes as PC as that. What a crock!

It sure seems like it's on it's way some days. I remember when I was
a little kid (not so long ago, really) we had rusty steel jungle gyms
set over asphalt at school, and liked to shoot one another with bb
guns on the weekends. Imagine the lawsuits that would ensue if any of
that was still going on today.
