...and prayer (instead of education).

Are you implying that people can conduct religious services elsewhere than in schools or other institutions supported by the tax dollars of all citizens? Or, in such institutions, can pray quietly as individuals so as not to be rude to those of different faiths who are captive there? How? This puzzles me.

I find personally that reading aloud from the works of non-theist philosophers is only possible in public school classrooms.

hey will avoid discussions of Bush's capabilities and qualifications to lead.
Slick was governor of Arkansas- -a third-rate state if there ever was one. Surely Governor of Texas is at least as much qualification as that.

Are you now going to dis Slick for his lack of qualifications?
Oh, and just what qualifications (other than being a natural-born US citizen, 35+, and getting elected) are there? I copy of the Constitution is strangely silent on this point.
