From the BBC - an interesting story

From the BBC News on 16 Oct 2008 I managed to glean the following tit bit.

Please read this extract, then re-read it and put it into the context of the US Presidential elections in a few weeks time, the current melt down of financial institutions and perhaps even our little Territory wide elections here in Canberra tomorrow:
A US judge has thrown out a case against God, ruling that because the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served.

The suit was launched by Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers, who said he might appeal against the ruling.

He sought a permanent injunction to prevent the "death, destruction and terrorisation" caused by God.

'God knows everything'

Mr Chambers sued God last year. He said God had threatened him and the people of Nebraska and had inflicted "widespread death, destruction and terrorisation of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants".

What can you say to this?

In my case I say:
  1. Thank God we have representatives who have not quite lost their senses
  2. Thank God my father chose to come to this country rather than the USA when we were refugees.
  3. Thank God we managed to land jobs in the ACT where we now have a chance to elect some sensible representatives tomorrow.
