Atheist soldier holds up against military harassment
Real toughness: going against the chain of command when you're an atheist
Funny, first time in a while I saw an article I felt I should link.
The sad part is, his beliefs don't affect how he does his job. Nor does he proselytize his atheism. Far from it: he just wants to live and let live. It's the other soldiers who call him names and hound him.

Oil may back off for a while, same with other commodities, but longer-term the price will be going up, because the so-called "developing world" is finally,...
Happy Election Day!

Still, it's a nice step.
