Paganspace.com replied to Episode 101…but it wasn’t about them. Good job Paganspace! Epic Fail!
6:30
Pagan News.com…fuck off and stop spamming everyone
7:05
Google’s going to start censoring books…just like Amazon.com
8:01
So we should support these FictionCircus people?
8:20
Cherry Hill Seminary…you’re going on our Assets Board
9:52
Lily Ledbetter Act: Enacts fair pay for pagans
10:45
Smoking bans are trying to include smudging for Natives
12:13
The positives of all the smoking bans; Barbara talks about being an allergic child and reacting to second hand smoke
12:52
But why can the government infringe on the public as well as business owners?
16:40
Smoking bans started with bans inside government buildings and in relation to rising health costs
16:53
In NY…you can’t smoke in your own house or motor vehicle
17:59
Smudging you normally don’t do in a public place anyway
18:49
Senate Bill 22: Public land managment…any public land can be shut down to take care of the animals. Thankfully it never passed. If they’re going to shut down land, it should be for good reason…not just 4 bloody birds. And make sure you mark it clearly!
22:13
In Texas, any beach land is public domain. So don’t be stupid enough to build your house on the beach where it can erode away.
23:38
PCP Effect: House Resolution 1706 They wanted to log all WiFi router information and Dave saved the day by writing his Senator.
25:32
In Feb 2010, books published before 1986 will be removed from libraries and stores because of lead content. Stop licking the book pages then!
26:40
The main problem comes in when the bills weren’t written properly in the first place. We don’t have to make sure our grammer is correct…we’ll just pass another law to fix it. But it might take us a few years to do that…so just hold on a second kay?
28:08
Who needs books…we have the INTERNET!
28:48
Bush has a calendar for the countdown to get rid of him. That’s a record for the president…and that fact that it was in Wal-Mart! Then we talk about the Iraqi reporter that threw his shoes at Bush. Go Iraqi reporter go! You’d make a kick-ass Super Smash Brothers character!
32:25
A Republican from Missouri want so pass a bill in regards to prayer in public schools. We don’t need a bill…we just need some clarification. You can have your moment of silence…just stop hitting people over the head with Jesus.
33:47
The Stimulus Bill is forcing students to move their spot for religious meetings
34:49
We need them to either read the bills that they write or have it checked it by a five year old. Listen up Senators and Represenatives…you don’t get your hookers back until you read this bill…do you hear me young man?
25:28
I Choose Hell Productions is suing Pennsylvania regarding a law saying they can’t have a business with a blasphemous name.
36:54
Pennsylvania spent thousands of dollars for bibles to swear people in on. But a representative from Chester opted for a Koran…cool shit!
37:39
There is a whole committee regarding Native Laws…but most of them are the same as the pagan pay issue. There’s lots things that shouldn’t have had to been written to actually get some of these things done. Like hey…you guys can actually have some water!

TommyElf over at the Edge of the Circle did a rant on From the Edge of the Circle about PaganSpace regarding Episode 101.
http://edgeofcircle.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=467780

Dave’s response: Yes, there are stalkers and fundies everywhere. However, it seems weird that a religious community wouldn’t be more active in curbing such activity.
43:27
Barrett A. Writes:

hey guys im just doing this to say im a little disappointed in you. see you guys kept saying that u couldnt wait to tear paganspace a new one but when you actually got to the episode you end of with a “well today there not that bad” what was that. please guys dont get tame i love the stupid people bashing and paganspace is a great target if i was grading you id give you a C- for effort but you guys are usually grade A students of stupid bashing 101. If you decide to try again i want to see the black snow flakes. LOL you guys rule cant wait to listen to the satanist episode
44:40
Tobey sends us hatemail:

I’m sorry, that you guys don’t get hatemail. That being said, I absolutely hate all of you and will never again listen to your podcast (until the next one comes out). Most of you are inane and boring except for the couple of you who aren’t intelligent enough to reach any level of inanity. I can’t believe how you bash people that you don’t understand. If some whacko wants to think that he or she is a squirrel (mmmmm…squirrel) let them have their ignorant fantasy and tell as many people about it as they want to. I want more homos on the show!!! On a positive note, I’m glad that y’all have gotten some sort of grasp of the alphabet and can sometimes take turns with comments in alphabetical order by first name. Wow!!! Once again, I hate you all and can’t wait for the next podcast to come out, so that I can tell you just how much you are hated once again. If anyone would like a scary, sleazy stalker instead of hatemail, just let me know. I’m here for you. /wink
