Re: COLUMBINE AND GOD IN THE SCHOOLS
Well, that is how you perceive it friend. If you were shocked that is your
choice on how to react to a situation. Yes, I violated basic Moscow, Idaho
norms which in themselves violate many basic norms of common sense. I know
it is difficult for some of you to think that there is only one way to think
and it is your way. Well, there is a new sheriff in town and as long as
there is an open dialogue possible I will offer my opinion and thoughts to
you. What particular religion did you have in mind "Archie"? Who was on a
crusade "Archie"? I do not care if a person bows to their garage door every
morning and calls that their religion "Archie". I found Mr. Coombs not so
tightly wrapped himself. So, what ever you think of my rhetoric to him and
the case on prayer in the church it is your choice how you perceive that.
You are the sum total of all your life's experiences to date"Archie". I can
appreciate this and think you have a right to your opinion. As I have said
before, " Opinions are nothing more than the luxuries of ignorance." With
all due respect;
Wolfgang M. Schwartzenweintraub
