Political Correctness Gone Mad

The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Sanity...
if you read piston's last comment again - but this time *without* looking for a fight - you'll see that he's asying that a vast bunch of Atheists (like Richard Dawkins) are the ones guilty of speaking out and tellnig others how wrong they are.. and that it's the Chistians and what-not who are the ones that are heppier to live and let live.
He's not telling you what to do!!
Dawkins did however mention a nice point... to some extent we're all atheists: mostly people only believe in one god.. but dismiss the others. "When you manage to understand why you deny the existance of *other* gods, then you will understand why I dismiss yours"
To sum up... We can't ALL be right =)
