your call to action anonymous December 8 2005, 18:57:26 UTC

We live in RI, there is a huge world out there... go to other parts of the country and see how fashionable it is to bash catholics... It's nice to see the Women's studies group being compared to Hitler though... I almost see the similiarities...
