So Kofi Annan says, "Stop reprinting the cartoons." Frankly, I'm of the opinion that everybody should print the ones that make fun of the Jyllands-Posten's desire to undertake the project in the first place accompanied by a series of editorials by anyone and everyone on why this sort of deliberate attempt to antagonize another's personal beliefs is childish and offensive. Interestngly, I felt differently about the matter before I actually saw the cartoons (which are here, if you're curious too.)

The fact that human beings still continue to be so violently rabid about religion makes me think it's time we started treating religion like the addictive drug that it is and start regulating who we allow to dispense it. I mean: any whacko is allowed to trot off to seminary or imam school or an online course and then we're expected to respect thier opinion just because they're a "religious authority". Someone explain to me how that makes any sense.
