Internet Archive building burns down

Well, the archive itself is unaffected, but its scanning equipment is toast after a huge fire. The equipment cost upwards of $600K, never mind what repairing the building will cost.

I'll probably donate. Not sure how much, but I'll chip in what I can. The Archive is a tremendously valuable resource and will only become more valuable as time goes on and more pages are lost to the mists of the internet.

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
