Oh, crap, I guess I won't win now that I've posted it here.  Sucks.

Pepe moved into a new apartment last year.  When he was setting up his furniture, he placed his telephone on the table and instinctively looked for a jack into which he could shove the end of the cord.  There, behind the table was the all too familiar square box providing the exact receptacle that he desired.  Shortly after Pepe plugged in his phone, it rang.  "Odd," he thought, "I haven't even called the phone company to set up service, yet."  When he picked up the phone, there was nobody there.

Pepe is really creative and got the operator to tell him what number makes the phone ring.  
Pepe has never received a bill for his use of this service, nor has he ever received a wrong number call.  
He doesn't know who the provider is.  He has his suspicions, but can't be certain.

Should Pepe call the phone company/companies and tell them?

Where is it?

I'm not familiar with the structure of this particular religious organization, so forgive me if I'm way out of line here.  I assume that it isn't one of hierarchal design like the Catholic church.  But, at the same time, I believe that it would be easy for the Catholics or the Baptists or even the JWs to organize a march or, somehow, make it clear that they wish to denounce a group that is giving their religion a bad name.  The message that America is getting trough the silence of the Islamic community is one of acceptance.  To wit, everything that these Islamic fundamentalists are doing in an effort to advance their cause is okay.  

Are Middle-East-Muslims still (justifiably) upset about the way they were treated after 9/11?
Is making a statement on behalf of the religion frowned upon?
Are the specific branches of Islam that are causing the problems so fringe that they're not even really recoginzed by the centrists of the religion?
Have the leadership made what they feel are sufficient statements denouncing the acts that were just never properly covered by the media?

For the love of Pepe, if we're going to do anything anti-Saudi-Arabia, it should be for the 15 highjackers being Saudi, not for the fact that they don't allow freedom of religion.

September 15th will be the day that lived in infamy, eh.

After that, there will be no more NHL.


Do you think the Canadians will start a new league and do it right?
