Oh, hair!

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Just read the wiki. Perhaps I'll retract that statement I just made. She came to a sticky end.

"She got a sense of power out of having men in her employ who had taken human life." - oh dear, smart but unwise. :smoke:

Horrified to discover she, her son, and her grand-daughter were brutally murdered.

She seems to have lived on the edge in her employment strategies though...

Madalyn Murray O'Hair - why have I only just heard of her
Because you've lived under a rock? :dunno:

When I was growing up, her name (and the sordid tale of her mysterious demise) was the only time I ever heard the word 'atheist' mentioned by the media.

Well that's not a nice thing to say! :nono:

Possibly because America is NOT the world and she wasn't well known here in the UNITED KINGDOM!

I've often heard scum like Kent Hovind imply her death was some sort of divine retribution.
Fucking scum.
