Geeze, I had no intention of causing such a stir. I guess that is what I get for making a [admittedly now, poor] back-handed slap at the ridiculous state our public schools have become. The intent was not to provoke an opinion on school prayer or gun control. IMO, gov't needs to get the hell outta our lives, period, and let local communities take over.

These are areas where a profound difference in opinions is likely. There was already one response to the thread calling it inappropriate.
