Prevent Suicide, Outlaw a Witch

Thursday January 6, 2005

In today's hysteria news, the Rajasthan Women's commission suggests a suicide prevention plan: outlaw witchcraft.

Speaking of hysteria, I've posted a comment here, answering yet another racist rant complainting about phantom immigrants criticizing (to paraphrase): "White folks who pray to Christ." I think it was Freud who called this "projecting." I guess it makes him feel better to think imaginary immigrants are criticizing him before he denounces "Voodoo cultures practicing witchcraft, shamanism, demonism, pantheism."

There is some common sense to be found: today's Hartford Advocate weighs in on hte dangers of Metal music and comes to a sane conclusion.
