A thing worth a bloging

So Iraqi has a nice start to their new constitution. What do you think? For the whole thing see Iraqi for the wiki

"We the sons of Mesopotamia, land of the prophets, resting place of the holy imams, the leaders of civilization and the creators of the alphabet, the cradle of arithmetic: on our land, the first law put in place by mankind was written; in our nation, the most noble era of justice in the politics of nations was laid down; on our soil, the followers of the prophet and the saints prayed, the philosophers and the scientists theorized and the writers and poets created"

it's great and all...but what about the whole oppression of women and minorities? and whatever happened to separation of church and state?

The separation of church and state exist nowhere in the constitution. Read http://www.noapathy.org/tracts/mythofseparation.html for more information.

I have no affiliation with the site, nor do I agree or disagree with anything else contained in the website.

... Well, maybe I do. I forget things. But the key points for you to remember:
- The phrase "Seperation of church and state" exsist nowhere in the first amendment.
- I know not much else about this topic. Just that.
- People interprete things differently, which can lead to heated debates. With Fire.

So there you go. Actually, I explained nothing, and I completely missed the point of Jessie's comment, in that it was light-hearted discussion and was supposed to be funny. Unless it wasn't. Whoops.
