I just think that it's a shame that some of us are finding ourselves
wondering how much longer we will have the right---no---the freedom of
speach to be able to say what we want. I have never tried to throw my
religion at someone, and make them believe exactly as I do. Now if
someone wants to know, then I will tell them what I know, but
otherwise, I just let it be, as long as they leave me be. What I'm
getting at is....we don't MAKE anyone say "under God" or anything else
that they don't want to say, but they are making it so that we will not
be allowed to say it either. I think that is unfair. -Just my two cents
