Dave, Faith Based Initiatives to me is about putting together a framework of ways to not bar religious organizations. It's about finding inclusive solutions. In many places good folks deliver the goods and with the assistance of Government more services can be delivered. I just see win win. tom watson tosiwmee

David: I am not sure what all the fuss is about these faith based initiatives. Frankly, if the church of scientology, or the muslims, or budhists or sunflower worshipers or wickens does a good job of feeding the poor, helping single moms, addressing drug addiction, etc. they should get public funds, as in fact is the case now. If they do none of these things well they don't get the funds. If in the course of helping people with their problems some of those folks find religion. Well, I know some on the thread may find this to be a horrid thought, but they will likely be better for it. Little joe
