Well, talking politics and religion? IBTB!

First, Thank-you Eric for helping to set the record straight about Québec. I spent three wonderful years in Montréal and know that very few Québecois feel that they are "not a multicultural society". What an absurd notion. Visit Montréal to see.

I feel it important to get back to MacmillanofRathdown's point. It would have been easy for a kiltie to divest himself of a sgian dubh. Why so difficult for a Sikh to part with his kirpan? Oh right, it's a religious issue. I guess those guys can't fly now or risk offending their god because they can't carry a blade on board. ... I'll bet they do fly though. Although people often state that there must be some special exception for religion, in practice reason is always employed somewhere.
