Naturally, you want to tear your hair out. You want to mention that if the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate” designation is an incitement to violence it’s an awfully ineffective one (of the 1,018 hate groups active in 2011, less t…

Killing Love in North Carolina

…for Obama in the last election. But, overcoming any sort of bigotry in the South is hard work. As a born and bred Southerner I can assure you that our region will always be the taillights, and never the headlights, in the march for anyone’s equality.

The Internets Own Your Religion

…r the names on the application there are some very Persianate names on the list, so it may be that the Turks are simply a proxy for another group.) This lack of clarity furthers the point that ICANN needs to have a policy of regulating the use of religions’ names—it should not be easy and trivial for someone to claim internet ownership over a religion.
