White Magic

IMHO this woman deserves a high place of honor with all pagans and heathens: how many others of us can claim to have have stood up to the missionaries (both Christian and Muslim, in this case) and saved a whole native culture from destruction?

Hail Susanne Wenger!

Bent double by age, the high-priestess of Nigeria's Yoruba spirit-world shuffles forward from under the trees, reaching out a white, blotchy hand in welcome.

Farmers See 'Mark of the Beast' in RFID Livestock Tags

Forget the beast: some of us just see the mark of Big Brother and the Nanny State (sounds like a new rock group, eh?). But everyone seems to agree that this idiotic program will forever change the face of agriculture in America. And not for the better.

Farmers, some of them Amish, are decrying federal and state rules requiring the use of RFID tags on livestock. In a federal lawsuit, they say the tags, which authorities say will help them monitor disease, are the "mark of the beast."
