Whoo, boy.

There's an article at Salon about a woman whose citizenship application has been rejected because she's a conscientious objector and the belief is not based in religion

It's never occurred to me that being a conscientious objector needed to be tied with religion. (Although, for clarity's sake, I don't think I've never thought about this specific term; I just know that I would not be able to fight for the same reason as you: I don't think there's a cause I'd find that's worth killing over). It baffles me that people think that one has to believe in a high power to not believe in killing others.

Also, your dad sounds like he was amazing.

He is completely amazing. Still teaching American Government at a local community college just to keep himself active.

What a great post. Thanks for sharing this.

And I think I would like your dad very much.

He's been a good father to me.
