I think the phrase seperation of church and state has been used way too much and taken out of context when used for way too long. By t hat I mean anyone that knows American history knows that one of the mainreasons the first settlers came to America from England was for religious freedom. That said many believe that a "seperation" of church and state means that nothing religious can be used in any form of governmental process. Again reading through history it's apparent that our "Founding Fathers" were religious people so I don't believe that was never their intent. Instead I believe their intent was simply to say that no matter what form of religion or religions was chosen to be "used" or practiced within our government by our leaders,( however you want to say it) at the federal level, that the federal government would never have the right to tell anyone what religion they could use at any other level. In other words if a state, county, city, or individual wanted to use something that was say Catholic or Pentacostal, or whatever in a public building then it was OK as long as a majority of the citizens approved.

But if you take the phrase literally then by definition that means the government has no right to tell someone they can't do something religious anymore than they can tell them they can. So if County X wants to put Bible verses in their courthouse then nobody at any level of government has a right to tell them they can't. By the same token if mfg X wants to put Bible referrences on their product they can not be told that they can not do it as the government DOES NOT have the right to dictate anything to any oif it's citizens concerning religion in any form or manner be it positive or negative.

The biggest problem with this country right now though is that people have forgotten one simple thing and that is you can't please all of the peoplem all of the time. In other words some people are always going to be unhappy. So in order for this country to carry on those people will just have to be unhappy because the majority rules. Unfortunately nowdays it seems like a lone individual can start fussing about anything and take away the desires of millions simply because that one person is unhappy about something....Sadly the politicians have the cajones to stand up to the millions but not to stand up to the one....really makes me wonder sometimes about the mind set that causes that way of thinking..........

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S ... [Read Article]
