You may not but our laws do.....there is good reason for separation of church and state and I don't like it when the president flouts those laws. The only generally aplicable law here is the 1st amendment and you have already said you don't see it as unconstitutional. Ok really you only said "I didn't say it was unconstitutional" but that implies you don't think it was. Any specific law barring such use of funds (if any exist) would be superceded by the law or laws that Bush is asking for to implement the program. Interesting how he doesn't like the favoring of one race over another but he doesn't seem to have a problem favoring religion over no religion. The programs in question do no such thing. As I understand them non-religous groups can apply for money as well. Its not my opinion; its the law. Perhaps in that one case it is, but you provide very little info for me to make a judgement with or to base a response on. Also you original statement was not limited to that law. I said it was MOSTLY your opinion, because I have no information about the specific law you mention, so I gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed in that case it was more then just opinion. So that when you encourage the replacement of existing facilities rather than upgrading them The rule that Bush is removing didn't allow much upgrading either. In caused a lot of very old plants that put out tons of pollution to remain operating. I think they would see the point and they might get that point across to you better than I. They would have to come up with a new point and I don't see that happening even if they where more eloquent and or had more detail to support the points that I have already read here and elsewhere. "CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 (as amended) ...No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance..." Sorry, but I don't think Mr. Bush is doing anything to support this law. He is moving against cases where government bodies, that receive federal financial assistance exclude or discriminate against people because or race. The University of Michigan is a good example of an organization that applies or denies benefits at least partially based on race. Tim
