But I think there is legitimate non hate-filled argument to be made that in the current century religion is a net evil.

Sure, but only because the commies and fascists are seriously slacking. Personally I think the problem is the blind obedience to any ideologue -- regardless of the idea. As soon as people think a notion is worth killing other people for, and someone figures out a way to make money off of that, it all goes to shit.

Wow, that was something.

I probably shouldn't have laughed at that. No wonder I wasn't Raptured.

In total agreement with Trudy here.

Dana, which one was the horse they had to wrestle into the gate?

Um, something City. But Shackleford was pretty unhappy before the race too.

Edit: Dance City.

Dance City - I think.

I hope that they run Animal Kingdom in the Belmont.

Oh, I missed that Shackleford was, too. Thanks.

I love the last stretch -- so exciting.

Some people scoff at agnostics as fence-sitters.

When I called myself an agnostic, I just referred to myself as an atheist who was unwilling to commit.

My guess is that Shackleford won't run in the Belmont.

Oh, I didn't even see the show horse.

It's really the difference in the race lengths that seems to get a lot of these horses. Because the winner would not have won a longer race.
