Just in time for Christmas.


This came from a Newsweek article:
In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission. According to a statement issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is "an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation."

I'm glad I live in a country where I'm free to reincarnate whenever, and into whatever, I want! Damn commies!!
