This part of the message is in response to deermeat1's last message.

I have to stop you on a couple of things you got wrong in your last post. First off its "constitution" and not "constatution". Secondly, since I have 2 years as a history major, specifically focusing on early America, I feel its my duty to inform you that seperation of church and state is exactly the principle that this country was founded. You see, at that point in history, England had a government controlled religion based on principles set King James (I'm sure by now you have made the connection to the King James Bible). This is who was doing the religious persecution. So they got on this little boat called the May Flower and set sail eventually landing at Plymouth, Massachussets (Plymouth Rock). Almost two hundred years later when our founding fathers drafted that sacred document that you mis-spelled Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, and the Right to bear arms were among the first ten items they outlined (AKA The Bill Of Rights). This is all in your history books and I'm sure that you already knew all of it but I just wanted to tell you that you are indeed wrong. Although our founding fathers were christians the constitution states freedom of religion. So even though the government is biased toward the protestant religion. The views of catholics, jews, muslims, Hindu, buddist, and pretty much any other religion you can think of a expressidly protected and supported by our countries constitution. Just figured you might want to know.

As for people who are looking for direction on how to vote. The gun issue is a small one in the light of what is happening to our country. I don't think the government will every be able to take our guns because the people won't let it happen. There's too much history and tradition surrounding them. The abortion issue is a big one and I personally disagree with abortion unless the mother's life is in danger. IMO the biggest issues are the energy and economy crisis. Both are linked. Barak is for health care as a right and for creating more jobs. He's also for exploring alternative energy sources. Personally, the only thing I agree with McCain on is the Nuclear Power plants. Every other civilized nation in the world is making it work so why cant we?

As a certain individual who says on the gun battle you're either part of the solution or part of the problem. Extreme statements like that are part of the problem. that is why I said, sarcastically, that your message on page 3 was "enlightening". Because I think statements like that are extremely ignorant.
