In a rarity, and I have to do some work at home because I have a metting tomorrow. Usually it's a struggle to find a meeting room to fit 25 people, but somehow before vacation, I accidentally booked two for the same time.
Aims, I know the first time I had a job where I had a) a person working under me and B) a secretary available to me, I really struggled. I hated asking them to do jobs I myself hated doing, and would often do them myself. At the time, however, I myself had a good boss, who mentored me a bit and helped me to let go of that. But I still often did my photocopying myself.
My mother-in-law, presumably in honor of one of the last days I'll get to sleep in, called before 7AM this morning.
It's interesting that you bring it up because it had been in my mind recently, with
the Roman Polanski thing. Not in any way that I can speak intelligently about, but as part of the mix of things in my head.
What part of "Separation of Church and State" don't these people understand? Or to put it more explicitly, what part of "The government can't promote a single religious viewpoint over others" don't they understand?
FIRST ON 3: Religious Sign Banned from LFO High School Game
The chants roared from the crowd of people that came out to show support for LFO cheerleaders. The group gathered after the cheerleaders' signs with religious messages were banned from football games.
Supporter Rod Cochran said, "They are trying to silence God's people and we don't want it that way."
Supporters arrived in large numbers, some with their own signs hoping to take a stand against what organizers call a "cheap shot" at their religious values.
Some say they won't back down until the issue is resolved
Organizer Jeremy jones said, "The cheerleaders should be able to do what they want, they have the freedom to do that, if someone disagrees, we feel it should go to a different level, not just one person or the school superintendent."
Others feel the school superintendent is taking the law into her own hands.
Aleq Boyle said, "We feel like mrs reese stepped out on her own to do this and i feel that she has read the interpretation of the constitution a little wrong."
The cheerleaders revealed their latest sign this almost too big for the group to hold up. One footbal player said he get emotional when he thinks that his team may never again be able to run through the signs with religious messages.
Logan fields said, "I felt angry and I asked myself, why after all this time of doing it has someone said something now?
...
The Catoosa County sent this release to the Eyewitness Newsroom Monday afternoon regarding the religious signs banned from a LFO High School football game:
"Catoosa County Public Schools has determined it is a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution for signs with Bible verses to be displayed on the football field. Superintendent Denia Reese said, 'I regret that we had to ask the LFO cheerleaders to change the signs used in the stadium prior to football games. Personally, I appreciate this expression of their Christian values; however, as Superintendent I have the responsibility of protecting the school district from legal action by groups who do not support their beliefs.'
"The 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution forbids the enactment of any law or practice 'respecting an establishment of religion.' The purpose of the Bill of Rights was to protect the rights of the minority; for this reason, the stamp of approval of religion by the government is not a matter subject to majority vote.
And yet people are like, "Us poor Christians are being oppressed! You're not letting us inflict our majority view on the minority!"
I just got this, from someone that I've been emailing on and off (she's putting together a website about the Jews from the town in Poland where my great-grandfather was born, and I'd been giving her some info and pictures.) I'm guessing her email got hacked somehow?

There is something big on fire in Palo Alto (or maybe Mountain View) that I can see from my window. The smoke is decreasing though, which I hope means it is under control.
Hil, I think yes. That account has been hacked or phished. You might want to email her and let her know.
And yet people are like, "Us poor Christians are being oppressed! You're not letting us inflict our majority view on the minority!"

Is this a Christian nation or not, people?!?
I'm not familiar with Newsmax - how mainstream are they?
Full Text Of Newsmax Column Suggesting Military Coup Against Obama
Here is the full text of John L. Perry's column on Newsmax which suggests that a military coup to "resolve the Obama problem" is becoming more possible and is not "unrealistic." Perry also writes that a coup, while not "ideal," may be preferable to "Obama's radical ideal" -- and would "restore and defend the Constitution." Newsmax has since removed the column from its website.
