Ocelot and Eddie, I really appreciate your responses but you are taking my comments way overboard. I don't want the government or school teaching religion to mine or anyone else's kids. That is not their job or responsibility. The schools are for the 3 R's and so on. I only meant like Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzi, whatever, it doesn't matter. I do send my kids to a private catholic grammer school because I do want them to learn about God. I would never expect public schools to do that and I agree that is not the place for it. The majority of that should come from family itself. I think it is OK however to have a christmas tree in a school and allow children to be exposed to all the religious facets of our country that teach good and positive morals in a general sense. (I don't want to argue what is good or positive about every detail, but not killing and stealing and so on) I think each religion has something to offer. Unfortunately, religion is used by many people such as terrorists to hide behind. Beause they are cowards or gutless doesn't mean it is bad or should be pushed out of sight. I particularly like Ray's God on friday nights but that one doesn't belong in the schools. Ocelot, I understand what my tax dollars go towards and I agree with most of it, just not all like I'm sure you don't.
Eddie, I love your sense of humor, you'll need it for tonights game with those guys. Have fun, wait till next year, I think we will take over the fourth place position in the league.
