Never heard of the Crusades then? The Spanish Inquisition? The complete and total elimination of the Greco/Roman religion? How about the Salem witch hunts? Those happened here in the grand old USofA and not that long ago, historically speaking. If not, I would suggest you educate yourself...Christianity's history is littered with violence, conquest, terrorism, greed, etc. etc...
Religious fundamentalists (of ANY religion) are the problem, not the religion itself. But go on, keep believing that Islam is the problem without having even trying to think for yourself. All you do is prove the old adage "better to keep your mouth closed and have everyone think your a fool, than to open it and prove them correct."
Actually, they wouldn't have to admit anything. Most low-level government jobs are "at-will," meaning they could fire her because she didn't wear the right color contacts that day...
Oh, that whole "rape" charge? No, that was merely coincidental, we were in the process of laying her off as her position has been made redundant...
Back in my day, we didn't even have the tag, and that's the way we liked in! No siree, none of this fancy-schmancy "hypertext markup," or "flash-enabled" doohickeys, or WYSIWYG editors. Just simple, straight text, transferred at 300 baud! Gods how I miss those blinking lights and the musical notes of modems handshaking...
Now get off my lawn, ya damn hippies! And take your tag with ya!
Extending the patent life for pharmaceuticals has also had a disincentive effect on creating cures for diseases rather than simply treating the symptoms. Seriously, do you ever expect to see a cure for cancer or any other long-term debilitating medical condition? Until the pharmaceutical industry is no longer motivated simply by profit margins and on-going revenue, it will never happen.
