How _real_ Christians react to Death and Murder. The Amish community that suffered at the hands of a psychotic killer last week should be commended for its reaction to the tragedy: the very evening of the killings, "they gathered together and organised a horse and buggy to visit the family of Charles Carl Roberts with food and sympathy. They invited the killer's widow to the family funerals. They bought a lock for their schoolroom door. Now they aim to establish two funds, one for the families of the dead girls, one to provide for the killers family."

A chilling look at the United States' no-fly list used to make life more difficult for thousands of innocent travellers whose names match those on the list - which includes the names of dead people, presidents of foreign countries and in fact does not include any of the most-wanted international terrorists - because publicizing them in that manner would present a security risk in itself. If none of the people the TSA really want to get their hands on are on the no-fly list, what's the point of the list?

Ever wondered if the movie you just watched is on the no-watch list of Conservative Moral Majority wackos? Now you can find out EXACTLY how bad that movie was for your moral health. For instance, A Charlie Brown Christmas contains "animated slapstick violence with threats to do violence to intimidate" and "name-calling with tormenting and ridiculing". The recent filmic adaptation of the Rey's "Curious George" receives criticism for "deceit for gain" and "breaking and entering to rescue".
