THE SOUTH’S GONNA DO IT AGAIN Redneck's dream becomes reality by Jerry Atrix Who are we to doubt the great Charlie Daniels? When he coined this song in the mid 70’s, who would have thought he was right? Could we have guessed that if it restarted, it would do so in our lifetime? Despite what he didn’t think or know, the South HAS done it again. Or is, at least, trying. Last week, country music superstar Willie Nelson pulled his endorsement from Democratic oddball Dennis Kucinich, and appointed himself President of the Confederate States of America. Nelson is building an army of former Howard Dean supporting ‘ guys with Confederate flags on their pickup trucks’. An ...

Religion in the sense of gods, churches, liturgies, and bibles emerged in due time from the primitive sacred essence. So did the rest of human culture, its signs, symbols, words, drawings, and acts.?

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Tuesday that a small congregation in New Mexico may use hallucinogenic tea as part of a four-hour ritual intended to connect with God. Justices, in their first religious freedom decision under Chief Justice John Roberts, moved decisively to keep the government out of a church’s religious practice. Federal drug agents should have been barred from confiscating the hoasca tea of the Brazil-based church, Roberts wrote in the decision. The tea, which contains an illegal drug known as DMT, is considered sacred to members of O Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao do Vegetal, which has a blend of Christian beliefs and South American traditions. ...
