I don't know about Tibetan Buddhism, but in all my exposure to
Hinduism (the real Hinduism, not some junk like Hare Krishna, Rajneesh
or some other faith-- I hope you know the difference) I have *NOT* seen
any diety with "skulls and such". If you don't understand what the diety
looks like or what it is supposed to look like, then I urge you to not
come to some arbitrary (and uninformed) conclusions.

Upset enough about the act passed in the Senate, and even more so
by certain uninformed, ludicrous remarks.
