Here is what Steve Evans has to say at the very end of this thread at BCC regarding people who still support Bush and Cheney:

“I don’t want such people around my children.”

This is after he says he (jokingly?) says he does not want home teachers to visit his house if they support Bush and Cheney.

For the record: as a conservative, and somebody who does support Pres. Bush and VP Cheney, I would like to say that I could care less about the politics of the people around me. I welcome people of all political beliefs to mingle with me and my children. I tend to judge people based on their actions, not their beliefs or politics. But, then, I’m a judgmental conservative.

Richard Dutcher’s movies and personal situation have gotten some attention on this blog. I have linked to his personal web page, which indicates he has two new projects in the works. One is called “Falling,” which was previewed recently in a private screening at the Sunstone Symposium.

I’ll post a preview of the movie without major comment, except to say this is definitely a movie I don’t plan on seeing. It appears to be an R-rated blood fest with murders, an abortion, nudity, infidelity, etc.

SPOILER ALERT: the preview discusses the ending of the movie extensively.

His next project is called “Evil Angel,” according to his web page.

Take a look at this link from Saudi Arabian Airlines. I quote:

Items and articles belonging to religions other than Islam are also prohibited. These may include Bibles, crucifixes, statues, carvings, items with religious symbols such as the Star of David, and others.

I know a number of LDS academics and businessmen, and probably military and government people, have traveled to Saudi Arabia recently. I’m wondering if they have had their scriptures confiscated upon entry. I travel worldwide and usually bring my scriptures (although these days I have been carrying my Treo and reading the scriptures on the small screen).

I’m wondering if Saudi authorities would look differently at personal scriptures with somebody’s name on them and a box full of Bibles, for example. Any input from our readers?
