Separation of Church and State

Separation of Church and State is an ideology protecting religious freedom by ensuring government does not interfere to favor or disfavor private religious establishments so long as they practice without violating another's individual rights. The clause also protects from churches and other religious organizations interfering with government practices in an attempt to remove religious freedom so as to favor their beliefs. This clause proposes a metaphorical wall between government and religious establishments, unlike the one-way street idea proposed by fanatical religious theocrats.
Wiccan: You can't limit my freedom to worship in peace. We have separation of Church and State.

Radical Fundamentalist: No you don't! That clause represents a one-way street. Government is not to interfere with churches but churches can control the government and limit the rights of non-believers!

Wiccan: I hear Iran is lovely this time of year.

Drone Separation Anxiety

The horrible feeling you get when:
1. You see your drone developing a mind of its own and flying back to mainland China where it was begotten.
2. When you forget your drone(s) at work and to go get them is a hassle.
3. When your partner drags you to the Opera and you'd rather be flying your drones.
4. When you can't sleep thinking you have not properly charged the drone batteries for the next day's flight.
5. When your classes drag on & on and all you're thinking is locking in some GPS and soaring.
I left my micro drones at work and now, I'm having drone separation anxiety!
