No to Blasphemy Trials

Byhenry September 27, 2012

I agree with Joel Watts. Christians must protest this charge of blasphemy against a Muslim for desecrating a Bible. Blasphemy laws, no matter which way they are targeted, are not good.

Prison Book Censorship
Byhenry September 10, 2007
This program, as reported in the New York Times concerns me, not so much because I think the [tag]prison[/tag] officials are biased in their selections, but because the approach appears to be overkill–a massive and sweeping solution to a very small problem. I would hope the prison officials would reconsider and go instead to a…

People Want Congress to Fight Harder
Byhenry August 13, 2011
What’s an independent moderate to do? It seems people are telling their representatives to fight harder for their principles rather than compromise. Which all reminds me of what I’ve said many times: We the people are the real ones responsible for the state of government.
