this post is simply inappropriate for a professional list. A simple wish of

problems.


Thanks for the comments, Dennis.
I think it is fascinating that the principles on which this nation was founded, are now considered "inappropriate" for public discussion by "modern" ways of thinking.
Given the divide that seems to inflict so much of the discourse between people in our nation today, it makes me that much more thankful to that same God invoked by Pres. Washington, that "our side" won the last election.
With respect, I'm grateful that yours is the minority view. Much as I respect your right to view any acknowledgement of the Divine as "inappropriate," the depth of my disagreement with that point of view cannot possibly be overstated.
