Michael, I have clearly stated many times that most Christians are very nice people, and that I believe most of the friction between people of different beliefs comes from the most staunch and radical representatives of each faith. I wrote a very long post on that very recently. Misrepresenting my posts is a negative reflection on you, not me. I see you have thrown the kitchen sink again. Let's see what it is this time . . . ah, school lunches!! Why am I not surprised?? Okay, well, let's discuss them briefly. Thirty percent of the children in California, a very wealthy state in general, live below the poverty line. Many of them go to school hungry, and numerous studies have shown that hungry children do not concentrate well and have trouble learning. So I am not sure how you can logically argue that reductions in money for school lunches are not starving children, or not doing harm to a population that is already at risk. Wouldn't it be nice to help these children instead of take food away from them? Perhaps fewer of them would end up as criminals if they learned enough in school to get good jobs. Are you one of the people who agreed with president Reagan when he reclassified catsup as a vegetable, so the school children would have less to eat?
