Maybe dual citizenship for BiH Serbs isn't a bad idea, if it's available to BiH Croats, it's only fair to allow it for BiH Serbs. Still I do wish Dodik would stop already about this rot about referendums.

These are water-buffalo, not bison for those of you in Rio Del! They are kept as draft animals and dairy animals and another thing, there used be rice cultivation and of course non-mechanized rice cultivation requires water buffalo, this is the same as in Italy's rice country!

Comments:
This in reply to the Christian Extremist post, but for some reason when I try to click on the "comment" link, I get a "this page cannot be displayed."

Anyways, I'm sure you have already covered this, since you cover everything ;)

But in case you haven't, have you heard of the new film "Jesus Camp"? It is about an extremist evangelical camp for children.

"I want to see them as radically laying down their lives for the gospel as they are in Palestine, Pakistan and all those different places," Fisher said. "Because, excuse me, we have the truth"

Fisher is the head pastor at the Camp.
(great, that's all we need, suicide bombers and "martyrs" in Dallas Texas (or wherever).

You can find a lot more on the film, including the official website, through google and google news.

While of course the extremists certainly do not represent all Christians, or even all Evangelical Christians or as you noted, the teachings of Christ, there does seem to be an increase in Christian extremism.
