Re: COLUMBINE AND GOD IN THE SCHOOLS?
Coombs your entitled to your opinion that is what a lot of people in this
world would say myself included. I do not agree with your attitude nor do I
respect your views or small talk about the Lord, God, Jesus Christ. If you
said those things to me in the middle of a wheat field and not on the
University of Idaho campus I would take you apart limb by limb. You aren't
man enough to back yourself up. It is little pucks like you that some of us
defended many years ago in a far away place. We defended your right to make
us sick with your rhetoric. You have the right to say what you want about
some of us and our Lord. But, don't flatter yourself to think you are clear
of me on this one. If prayer brings peace to some people why should you
care. What is your alternative Don? Would you have us slaughter a sheep
and toss the blood all over the wall of Columbine high school in the name of
Satan? Would you have every body explain things to you in terms only you
appreciate. What the dickens does taxes have to do with all of this any
way. Are you one of those wheat farmer that live around here on the biggest
welfare program in existence. Are you tired of buying Cadillacs for them
with subsidized money? What really has your shorts tied in a square knot
Don? You seem like a candidate for management anger consoling. With all due
respect;
Wolfgang M. Schwartzenweitraub
