Leviticus 19:33 & 34 "When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."

When conservatives think about Leviticus, they tend to focus on verse 18:22 or 20:13, while glossing over the rest of it. I'm not saying that the U.S. needs to stop watching our borders and let everyone in unchecked. That would be stupid. However, anyone who wants to contribute to the success of this nation, work for the betterment of the world, and generally make life more livable should be given that opportunity and be treated better than those who do not do these things.

I know; it must seem a bit off for someone who has only published a couple of bad jokes to talk about the Bible, but it isn't. In fact, I intend to switch gears as frequently as time permits.

Ren� Descartes enters a convenience store, approaches the clerk, and asks for a book of matches. As the famous philosopher walks away, the clerk says, "wait...don't you want some cigarettes?"

Descartes stops, turns back slightly toward the clerk, says, "I think not," and vanishes.
