The rest of the world is really dissapointed too.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I came across your site at Diva's.Fejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05785770685458132572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13256082.post-1117690635834496262005-06-02T00:37:00.000-05:002005-06-02T00:37:00.000-05:00Thanks.The president and candidates seem to be beh...Thanks.<BR/><BR/>The president and candidates seem to be behind walls more often than not, and at both political conventions last year, dissenting opinions weren't allowed on site.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the preaching. I've never been one for evangelism, religious or no. <BR/><BR/>I hate the idea that America, that welcomed all of our ancestors, no longer welcomes differing beliefs, especially religious ones. That's contrary to my idea of America, and hopefully enough other people that something will be done.<BR/><BR/>Ben Franklin's quote seems to be more true now than we realized right after 9/11.
