Moment of Silence
Students should not be forced to recognise a moment of silence in school, as is imposed by the recently passed "Silent Reflection and Student Prayer Act", in my opinion. I think it is just another excuse to try and force religion into schools and children. Not necessarily a particular religion, but just religion in general. I am very against religion. You can have your own religion so long as you never say anything about it to me. Religion is not about conversion, in the first place, it's about your own beliefs. Keep your beliefs to yourself and we'll be alright. This bill imposes the opposite, it shoves religion in my face and the face of my peers. This could be argued by people saying "Well then just use it as a 'silent reflection,'" but that is just trying to avoid the fact that this is a blatant act of attempting to unite church and state.

Great Post,
Yeah I definitely think it's a violation of church and state and I can't believe this law was passed. Its not like I'm not religious or anything, but school was fine without this law, and I feel like it would add some unnecessary controversy every single day. I also can't imagine this law lasting too long, as it will attract a lot of attention (even more than it already has), and lawmakers and other high ranking people will feel pressured to end the law. Although they probably passed this law with good intentions in minds, it's too controversial, and ultimately unnecessary.
Dear Friend
It's nice for me to have found this blog of yours. I read and saw what I could, my time is short.
I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise with my work there. My blog is so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer.
I often come across with so good but lonely blogs in my friendly random search,
my search for a public that may like or love what I POETRY write and also CHRONICLE,
among other types of Artistic Texts: we all search HAPINESS and JOY, don't we?
Well I'm realy happy to have found YOU.
I've learned and seen a lot after much more than 10.000 blogs I've visted in the late three months.
And I will, like Titanic's Kate, keep on and on and on and, like the song, feel that I 'Still haven't found what I'm looking for'.
When you come and visit me feel free to comment as you wish and, TOGETHER, let's make blogguing universal,
realy universal, as well all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting, helping and loving one another this GENTLE way.
Let me tell you that some I visit feel invaded and ofended that I present myself this way in their blogs
and rudely insult me back or post a mockery post on me.
Some think I'm playing the smart guy who wants to profit in some way from (and with) others curiosity and benevolence.
Some simply ignore me.
Some aknowledge that It's most important we all take notion that there's milions of us bloguing arownd the world
and thus vital any kind of awareness of eachother such as I believe
this my self-introduction card and insert apeal brings in.
May you be one of those open and friendly spirits.
Don't feel obliged to come and visit me.
An invitation is not an intimation.
I think that in the end it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers!
When in my blogg don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge
(though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!)
and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity that you're a part of.
Remenber that pictures talk also and I have de most delicious ones.
I Hope this message of mine had helped you in some way.
See you soon, MY FRIEND.
May the LORD bless our HEARTS and fill them with PEACE AND MOTIVATION
to endure our Lives the best way we can.
A FRIEND
joshua
