TOP COMMENT: Consider how you evangelize
Interesting that a religion — that is, the majority for our country, and even more so in our area — has rallies to show children that they are not alone.
What I have witnessed while working in the public schools is that this entire event is used as a tool to intimidate other students whom are usually nonbelievers.
After the fervor of the rally and prayer, they tend to go back invigorated, begin harassing other students about their religious beliefs, and go so far as to evangelize, telling people that they are condemned to hellfire.
So fellow believers (yes, I am a Christian), if you do this, please do it as Christ would, and do not bully, harass or condemn those around you for not participating.
Remember humility, and to be truly humble when it comes to relating to those who are of a different cultural or religious background.

Vote yes on Amendment 1
Conserving what assets we have left should be a top priority, using the funds to buy beachfront property, wetlands and other natural unspoiled properties makes sense.
Not only does it protect the native ecosystem but it will also contribute to tourism by guaranteeing that not every square inch of beach, river or lake side has a huge hotel on it.
If the tourists coming here wanted to stare at big buildings with small patches of nature here and there, they would go to NYC.
A yes vote is the logical choice.

Drinking can cost you your life and your freedom. I don't mess with the stuff myself.

Try this dog, George
Would love to meet George! I'm not a jumpy kind of scary dog. I often visit special boys like George. They seem to like to trace my spots with their fingers. (I like it, too.)
