    We Druids are not amused. These atheists have misappropriated our holy Soltstice!

    Who decided to let each applicant have up to nine spaces?

    That's not so much a bus bench but a Wiccan chair.

    I don't think I want to be a part of this argument...

    "America's quiet warriors are the legion of ham radio operators, 700,000 of them, who are always at ready for backup duty in emergencies – amateur, unpaid, uncelebrated, civilian radio operators, during and after floods and fires and tornadoes. After the 9/11 attacks, hams were indispensable in reuniting friends and families. Most recently it was they who expedited the search for debris after the Columbia Explosion , and right now, at this moment, they are involved in homeland security to a greater degree than you would want me to make public."

    The story noted that of the 18 spaces allocated to the self-proclaimed atheists, all but 3 were vacant.

    So there's a simple, obvious, solution. Simply declare (in the appropriately phrased legal language) that by leaving those 15 spaces empty, their allocation is voided. And then award them to one of the remaining applicants.

    In other words, use it or lose it. They're not using it, they lose it. Period. End discussion. Move on, nothing to see here.

    Of course, that means you'd have to have a politician and/or a bureaucrat willing to actually take a stand and do something positive. So it won't happen.

    What if they're Buddhists? Emptiness is an important concept.
