typical letter to editor in my city
This is the kind of thing my local paper publishes almost daily. I have written two letters regarding the pledge that have been ignored.<a href="http://www.lancastereaglegazette.com/news/stories/20020713/opinion/216897.html" target="_blank">Lancaster Eagle Gazette</a>
Is there anyone whose local paper has been almost even handed in the "under God" debate? |

My paper was very even handed with <a href="http://www.lsj.com/opinions/letters/020707_forumletts707.html" target="_blank">readers' letters</a>.

My paper, the Star Tribune, gave about a 50/50 split in letters. Although they wrote an article going against the ruling.

My paper the Athens Banner Herald was more 80/20 in favor of C/S separation. Including, two of my letters.

I think it is rather funny when all these emotional fundies think that God has been removed from this country.
At what point did an omnipotent god get so weak and cowardly that he runs away just because the government can't sponcer generic religion? Is the Fundy God that childish? ~~RvFvS~~ |
