The I Ching named the yin and yang, that most essential description of male and female, but Taoism insisted that yin and yang existed within each person - probably mankind's earliest argument for pansexuality...
This, the ACLU states, constitutes an explicit restriction placed on speech. Here, finally, is an argument that makes sense: it is not the government's place to curtail independent political advocacy.

But they're certainly saying that the hijacking raises concern over Islamic terror throughout the Russian Federation, and have called for intensified security and vigilance. And the hijacking will also be cited as evidence to back President Putin's argument that terrorism from the Caucasus threatens not only the entire region, but also the West as well, as part of a global threat against which the U.S. and Russia are united...
