a very small minority controls this issue. you identified them I threw the atheists in just to forestall the usual polemic in favor of non-secular prayer. Nevertheless, they have just as much right as the rest of us to have their position respected. But, them aside, we still have the problem of having a society that is very used to being structured around a group of christians finding itself a far more mixed company. I have no issue with the fact that the more sensitive and sensible persons of all faiths can respect the faiths of others or even the lack of faith in those who have chosen that route. That doesn't make it the right thing to do to make prayer oriented toward one of those faiths a part of a secular gathering. When you have gone to those various services, you went knowing that you were going to their place. To make christian prayer a part of a secular meeting makes it seem like it is their, the christians, place when it is increasingly likely that there will be people of many faiths there.

Here's my latest theory, unc. The tech have crashed for the last year, but the no-techs have held. Almost every time the nasdaq has had a terrible day, the S&P has gone up. The big bucks are still in the market - they've just rotated out of tech. It's reached the point of insanity now. KO has a higher p/e than CSCO. Think about that. Cisco is growing at >50% YoY and has zero debt. KO grows at 3% YoY has $835M in long term debt. I'm thinking the bubble is like a hot potato and is about to scorch in the hands holding no-techs. The no-techs got hit pretty hard today. Now where does the big money run? Back to the techs. Payback time, unc. cuf@praying.com
