Hey, it worked for SLAYER. Ya know, this is definitely gonna work and I just hope I'm there to see it happen. I grew up in the mid 80s during the whole satanic paranoia as a teenager, when the Geraldo special on "Devil Worship" came out. There was a point when school administraters were actually shitting bricks because of the "blasphemous" conduct of the younger generation. It definately sold back then, as I saw first hand. Especially memorable was a school official telling me turn my t-shirt inside out! I was a big fan of the band VENOM, and I also had spiked leather items taken from me! I'd definitely like to help you out. Since we're both in New York, where's your warehouse located?

Do you think they might then cater specifically to the secular conservatives, in particular? I remember reading sometime back in a Satanic 'zine that one of the reasons the Republicans lost in the '92 election was due to the exhibition of the Xtian Right at the Republican convention (ofcourse, that was just a theory).

Apparently, there are plans to tear down the largest and oldest Cross (good) in SF due to the fact that it was regarded as a violation to the rights of non-Xtians. This has sparked opposition from the fundie cranks, and it's really getting ugly. If you've heard about this, what do you think about it (in terms of Xtian belligerence)?
