America: A Christian Nation?
85% of Americans identify themselves as Christian (although only 33% admit they go to church regularly).
77% of people in Israel identify themselves as Jewish.
Are you surprised? I was.
What does the term “Christian Nation” even mean? I wish it would disappear entirely.

Voting: A game of chance?
“All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers, or backgammon, a playing with right and wrong; its obligation never exceeds that of expediency. Even voting for the right thing is doing nothing for it. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority.”
~David Thoreau, quoted by Emma Goldman in her book Anarchism and Other Essays.
