Yet another example of religion being behind insane social laws; we've seen it with gays and bisexuals - we've watched the witch hunts and lunacy, the protests about veils... I find it incomprehensible that there is anywhere in the world where people are banned from driving because they don't have dicks.

It's all been predicted centuries ago by my namesake Jonathan Swift (I chose my name because I loved his satire) in Gulliver's Travels - the war is between BigEndians and LittleEndians - which end of the boiled egg should you crack open to eat through?

As usual, great artistes say it best. Mad people create violent battles for the most trivial and stupid reasons. It would be funny today if it wasn't actually true.

artists have always pointed out the ridiculousness of society- and why evil dictators kill them and intellectuals first- but they too are a suspect bunch now.

Plenty of blood on their hands...just not their own
