One more posting from the USA

Spotted in a newspaper advert: "The President of the United States has claimed, on more than one occasion, to be in dialogue with God. If he said he was talking to God through his hairdryer, this would precipitate a national emergency. I fail to see how the addition of a hairdryer makes the claim any more ludicrous or offensive." - Sam Harris, author of Letter to a Christian Nation.

This really amused me. Some people in the UK think that Americans are all similar, but a short visit there provides plenty of evidence of an enormous range of thought and opinion - so refreshing!
