the lesser of two evils
“Christianity positions itself as a favored, special, and privileged religion over all others and naturally, it wants it views and beliefs to be favored above all others…” AS THEY ALL DO, let’s not forget that. I hate religion in general, not just the xian-based BS. I think the acknowledgment that Obama needs to address the “religion thang” if we want a sane...

In the span of less than a week, Facebook’s much-maligned initial public offering has led to billions in losses, multiple investigations and lawsuits. The fiasco began almost immediately after the stock became available for public trading May 18, with trading issues and Nasdaq delays.
