This has always aroused my curiosity. Everybody knows that our Colonial-cousins-from-across-the-pond (or if your a redneck our Colonial-kissing-cousins-from-across-the-pond) have a little and oft-preached clause in their most glorious constitution thingy, right next to the right to arm bears:

SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

That's real purty!

Which basicly means to be elected in American politics you have to be a rabid, right wing, fundamentalist, crusading, Darwin hating conservative type.

Now I fully appreciate you had your little tantrum and declared independence but do we realy have to burn down the whitehouse again before you colonial types figure out that the best way to deal with this problem is the patented British model?

Just follow this simple step-by-step guide:

1) Have a head of state

2) Have a head of the national religion

3) Make these two people one and the same (also if you need to divorce your wife and the Pope won't let you, this works for it.)

4) Remove their power, but let them have all the cute little doggies they want.

The result is a happy society where peopel don't give a good God damn about religion but spend all their time whining about the Monarchy.
It's not so much that we fear the Wolf that howls outside, we fear the Wolf that howls within our soul.

Paladin, Iman, Rabbi and Fa Shih of the Erisian revival.

There are 3 sides to any conflict, winners, losers and arms dealers. Eris does a damn good deal at competitive prices.

Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.

I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.
