It is scandalous therefore that a city such as Los Angeles can bear such a name, which implies that it does not exist. Its name must be changed at once to protect its inhabitants and sensitive souls unsuspectingly perusing their atlases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-82755674163097603242011-09-26T08:23:18.765-07:002011-09-26T08:23:18.765-07:00And of course, the Ministry of Equality and Divers...And of course, the Ministry of Equality and Diversity is to change its name, because 'Ministry' is "too religious".

'St.' is only acceptable for 'Street'. 'Santa' as for instance in Santa Monica, California, is doubly offensive for the same reason and also because it is a vile allusion to Santa Claus, a monstrous mythical figure connected to the banned festival of 'Christmas'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-41656847755604345322011-09-26T08:10:00.841-07:002011-09-26T08:10:00.841-07:00Another big problem is that there are huge numbers...Another big problem is that there are huge numbers of Christian churches and cathedrals everywhere.

I change the title on the homepage from time to time depending on what articles I am running most of - there is a lot of interest in the rugby world cup presently and lots of visitors linked from from sports pages hence the 'kiwi' - but it remains formally registered as 'Christian Medical Comment'.Peter Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17222354018504253042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-59249008057672615002011-09-26T05:32:16.976-07:002011-09-26T05:32:16.976-07:00IanK,
