You might remember that Governor Rick Perry proclaimed (in an official document full of WHEREAS clauses and one NOW, THEREFORE) that the three days from April 22-24 were “Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas.”
Now comes another potential solution. Big Springs, Texas is going to try recycling urine as drinking water. It’s actually a good, and green idea.
Unfortunately, the state’s governor doesn’t believe in climate change, and thinks prayer is going to bring water. This is the same man who thought the BP spill in the the Gulf was an act of God, prompting the question of why the governor likes her/him/it so much.
The story says “BYU’s honor code also requires students to be honest; abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee and substance abuse; and attend church regularly.”
Some of these rules I have a problem with; some I don’t. But what’s the deal with not drinking tea? Did Joseph Smith have a problem with anti-oxidants?
If it’s about avoiding stimulants, can BYU students drink Mountain Dew? Red Bull?

Yeah, now is not the time. If you have to burn some books, burn some other ones.
Why did the media even bother covering this huckleberry, and why did muslim leaders reach out to him to try to change his mind? There are only 50 members of his congregation. Fifty-one idiots does not a controversy make.
