Stardate 20011109.0555 (On Screen via long range sensors): One of the particular benefits of our right of free expression is that when certain people on the extreme fringe take advantage of it they disqualify themselves by their own words. A good sign that someone is over the edge is when their proclamations don't pass the horse-laugh test. Case in point: certain fringie fundamentalist Christians are up in arms over the immensely popular Harry Potter series of books. The problem? It desensitizes children to the inherent evil associated with witchcraft, meaning they'll be more liable to go over to the AntiChrist when he shows up Real Soon Now.
