For once being in Arizona is a good thing. Really, this place is rough for the non-casual atheist. I have none of my friends from high school and before that. Their religions didn't allow it.
Wow, I sound sappy. My excitement can wait for Thursday.

"arguing that it would be in the public interest."
Ignoring the oddity of the case particulars; how exactly is this in the public interest? Is it that they now believe that witchcraft is real and dangerous and they have to halt its use or is this stopping the slide down the slippery slope of women's rights which we all know does nothing but damage the whole of society... Not a single word of that question can be taken seriously. I just don't get people.
