Ron Ramsey, who is currently (one might say justifiably) running third in the state's Republican gubernatorial primary race, is apparently  not sure if the Constitution's guarantees of freedom of religion apply to Islam, which happens to be the world's second-largest religion - right after Ramsey's own religion.]]></description>

In the end, they are what we say they are from age to age and culture to culture. We decide man = x and woman = y but x and y are neither fixed nor universal.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rest of us are trapped in this mythical world. And not only is ancient history mythologized but so is American history – the myth of a Christian Nation. And as rapidly as events happen in the real world, they are mythologized – re-interpreted to fit, to conform to the system.
