New Chairs!

After much too long, we now have some new chairs in dispatch! Designed for a dispatch center, where furniture must be able to stand up to heavy use 24/7/365, these new chairs are a welcome addition. Our old chairs, although promoted as heavy duty, just were not up to the task. We had bought them locally, from a business supply company, but only companies that understand dispatch centers are really able to design equipment that can handle the demands we place on things. These chairs look like they’ll stand up well, and are very comfortable. The old chairs were literally a pain in my… hips. Thank you Tulare County!
What Rifle Scope Would Jesus Use?

In still another display of Christian arrogance, a company that manufactures rifle scopes for the US military has been putting references to Biblical passages on it’s products. Labeled with Bible verses, the equipment is shipped off to the military, and is in use around the world.
Aside from the appropriateness of putting Bible verses on a device designed to kill people, this company has placed military personnel in jeopardy. Muslim radicals are constantly trying to frame the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Christian war on Islam, and this nonsense plays right into their hands. They can justifiably claim that Christians are trying to kill them, and that jihad is the only response.
The subject of a report on ABCNews Nightline, the manufacturer of the equipment, Trijicon, claimed the Military Religious Freedom Foundation who is spearheading the campaign to remove the citations, was “not a Christian organization”. Apparently you can’t tell a “Christian” corporation they are wrong, unless they think you are also a Christian organization.
