All this crap about the Fox New segment that ‘pokes fun’ or just generally displays total ignorance about Wicca and Paganism, has me just shaking my head.  In what world does getting them to issue an apology actually change anything?  It’s not like you change THEIR minds.  Those people, in spite of what they say, are NOT journalists; they’re not ( Read more... )
