Thus it begins

Thomas Peters passes on the regrettable news that a Texas clergyman has actually been sentenced for ten days in jail for ringing the bells of his church; his appeal was denied.

Interestingly enough, the law regarding excessive "noise" has exemptions for ice cream trucks but not for churches [more].

Thus the persecution begins.

  2. To ask "what is this world coming to?" is not nearly strong enough, yet it is all I can think of. When did America decide simple common sense was improper and untoward? Hopefully cooler heads will prevail, but if not, perhaps your ominous statement will prove true.
