Good news/bad news

Good news:

Martin Bryant mentioned on B-net UU debate that about a third of a percent of Americans are UUs.

Well, two members of the house and one of the senate are UUs.

Three divided by 535...

Wahoo!

UUs are better represented in Congress than in the general population.

Know any other minority of any sort of which this is true?

Bad news:

I discovered in editing my last post that MS word's spellchecker does not recognize "Tillich," "Pagels," "Buber" or "salvific."

Such the philistine, that Bill Gates.

    Christian Scientists tend to be overrepresented, too, tho I don't know how many are currently serving. (Is there an easy way to check?)

Because of a recent ton of spam and weird insulting comments from a brand-new poster, I'm putting in comment moderation for a bit. I'm planning to do comment moderation "Ms. Kitty Style," as in, with a very light touch and kicking only off-topic and unreasonably insulting posts.
