Christmas and Easter are federal holidays, therefore, under the gay
marriage equal protection argument, all religions' holidays must
become federal holidays. We could also have a gay rights activist
federal holiday just like MLK.

Unemployment is spiraling after 8 years of GOP tax cuts for the rich
which means we don't need to work 24/7/52 anymore.

We didn't need to work that much before - er, *most* people
didn't. I've been in a spot where I *did* have to work
like that, and it's just one of those things. People
who work a lot of hours are *generally* doing the
Potemkin Village thing, in search of status within the
organization.

Yes - I think something like a four-day week might make
sense. Just realize that this does not counterbalance
20% unemployment.

There is no such thing as a "gay marriage equal protection argument."

They haven't worked 24/7 in Europe since the French Revolution and
they are more solvent than the U. S.

no it isn't. that was added during the cold war, the start of the
christian persecution of everyone else. it was added over a century
AFTER America was founded by people who rejected your christian god.

Just because you run around at night wearing sheets and burning
crosses doesn't make America a Christian nation.

America is nearly 85% Christian.

That means anything we do to you, including dragging you around town
behind our pick-up trucks and decorated trees with you, is not
persecution - its Training.

Poll: Founders Put God in Constitution

Wednesday, September 12, 2007

A majority of Americans believe that America’s founding fathers wrote
Christianity into the Constitution, a new poll reveals.

The survey by the First Amendment Center, a non-partisan educational
group, found that 55 percent of respondents erroneously believe the
Constitution establishes a Christian nation. Three out of four people
who say they are evangelical or Republican feel that way, while only
about half of Democrats and independents agree.

The poll also found that only 56 percent think freedom of religion
applies to all groups “regardless of how extreme their beliefs are.”
That’s down from 72 percent in a similar poll in 2000.

“We are seeing the product of years of not teaching the First
Amendment at a young age,” said Gene Policinski, the center’s
executive director.

Other poll results reported by USA Today include:

58 percent of respondents said teachers in public schools should be
permitted to lead prayers.

Half said teachers should be allowed to use the Bible as a factual
source in history class.

43 percent said public schools should be permitted to put on Nativity
re-enactments – up from 36 percent in 2005.
