<<I don't like religious mumbo jumbo talk from candidates. I don't want to see federal dollars spent on religion. I don't even agree churches should have tax exempt status. I want no Federal aid to any religion, whatsoever. >> What he spoke about is well proven, the most effective substance abuse programs are Faith Based. The least effective $ for $ are government operated. Ever been to an A-A meeting? This too is Faith Based & very effective. I read some time ago(somewhere, but forget where) that in cases when a drunk driver was taken to an A-A hall there were far less repeat offences than when a drunk driver was taken to jail or a public funded facility allowing them to sleep it off. If we really care about public safety & allowing people to turn around their lives, we need to allow the most effective systems be used - even if they are faith based systems. Here GWB was showing his real concern, compassion & desire the public get the most for the effort. I heard nothing that said he wanted to give tax money to religion?
