......(after taking the kids to see
"The Passion of the Christ" this evening.


What on earth would have induced you to take kids to that movie? Have you
been unaware of the controversy?


Oddly, the controversy seems to have centered on whether the movie is
anti-Semitic, not its violence. Since the only people who consider the movie
to be anti-Semitic are a bunch of intransigent hotheads who think any
mention of the crucifixion of Jesus is anti-Semitic, many people felt that
it was reasonable to ignore such extremist views.

Seriously, the only way that the ADL would not have been offended is if Mel
Gibson had depicted Christ as dying of appendicitis despite the heroic
efforts of his rabbinical doctors.
