    People in TX are backwards

    How is it that no one seems to understand, that right, wrong or indifferent, religion, or the quest to destroy religions, is 100% intertwined in our history. There is absolutely no way to divorce the impact of religion from our history. I am NOT talking about teaching dogma to convert. I am...

    The 1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

    Which is EXACTLY why the federal government has absolutely NO business involving itself in what should be a local matter. Education is NOT of of the duties assigned to the feds, therefor it is reserved to the state and for the People to control.

    Required curriculum? Who is making those requirements? Is history a requirement? How is it possible to teach the history of Mankind WITHOUT including the role that religion, or the drive to destroy it, has played? I NEVER said hand out this or that, not did I include my religious beliefs in...

    A vote, as in ONE. If a majority say different, too bad, eh? That is how it should work. You have the same vote as believers, ONE and ONE only. You are totally wrong about teaching religion. It has NOTHING to do with it is "true" or "not true", it has EVERYTHING to do with how it has shaped...

    To each his own. All I did was state a fact.

    One, how is it even possible to teach history without including religion? I contend that anyone who believes that is possible never studied history, or flunked it. Two, where is the separation of church and state in the Constitution? Implied? Maybe. It is not however, mentioned anywhere that I...

    Could past Presidents get elected today?

    One has to be sober to shoot well. Good chance that leaves out Obama.

    It is MORE than possible to "teach religion" without teaching religion. Man's many beliefs are a major part of our history. One cannot teach an accurate form of history without including religion. ALL of our history, the good, the bad and the ugly, was shaped in one form or another by those of...

    OH how I disagree. What an opportunity to mix one form of history with others. For others to learn about others. Religions have FAR more in common than differences. Until that is learned we are doomed to today's BS. No the bible is not a text book. I did not claim it to be.

    Salt Lake City, Utah

    Can't help you as to where. We would start heading east. Heading towards Chicago, maybe head down towards Kansas City. It has been a long time since we where out that way. Good luck!

    Salt Lake City, Utah

    Check the weather reports too. You don't want to get stuck in the mountains if the weather gets bad. We have had very little, if any, work out of SLC, a few loads going in, but I cannot remember any leaving. We avoid that area if we can.

    It's the Zimmer Man!

    Again, I am NOT defending Zimmerman. The FIRST line of self defense is avoidance. Knowing the situation you are in, knowing who is near is mandatory. Confrontation SHOULD be avoided most, but not all, of the time. There are many times when confrontation is needed. The trick there is knowing...

    Keep in mind that the regs do not allow for working on the truck during a 34 hour reset.

    Nothing else to do. The weather is not safe to hunt ducks. I already already have a deer in the freezer and I don't need another so I am not hunting. My truck is in the shop, still, SO, I get ansty. What else is there? :confused::cool:

    People in TX are backwards

    Excuse me? I fully understand the difference between teaching about and teaching religion. What is taught, or not taught in public schools, is an issue that should solely be determined by the individual school district. The problems we see now is a direct result of the federal government...

    The federal government has NO business in education. ALL education SHOULD be a LOCAL effort so that the LOCAL people can have control over it. The federal government has overstepped it's authority by getting involved in education. Doing so gives them FAR too much power. That power much be...

    People in TX are backwards

    The Constitution has EVERYTHING to do with this. Not want religion taught? You can find many in here that go on about that. Many want bibles removed from our schools. Prayer is not allowed. Law suits are filed to stop them. Most suits are filed on the grounds that the government cannot...

    It's the Zimmer Man!

    You have no idea whether he practiced or not. Neither do I. All I said is that with the proper practice it is no where as difficult as you try to make it out to be. I am NOT supporting the "Z" man, nor do I support Martin, I was not there. I can place NO faith in news reports as to what...
