"As much as I would like to see the Republicans ousted from control of Congress, I cannot in good faith contribute to the Democratic Party as long as it continues to promote legislation supporting anti-science agendas. One of several possible examples is the Native American Sacred Lands Act (H.R. 2419) introduced into the House by Representative Rahall and 16 other members of Congress. This bill is an affront to all Americans who believe in upholding the Constitution: separation between church and state should apply to all religions, non-Christian as well as Christian."

What's the usual time limit for digging up dead folks? Anyone know? Remember, bones aren't just a matter of science and religion... there's serious SOUP questions involved!
Of course, if people can dig up my grandparents and use them for soup, I can use their grandparents for stock as well, right? Right! Culinary equality for all Americans!
