I believe that everything should have remained how it was. Ten commandments could be displayed wherever, school prayer, etc. If you do not want to participate then keep to yourself. It's easy to do. There are a lot of things I see/hear that I don't like. But I don't go to the supreme court and tell them that my rights are being violated and having others views imposed upon me. A lot of it is a tradition of the United States. Frankly, it pisses me off to see all these cases go to court ruling in favor of people wanting a complete separation. This isn't really a new topic, so I guess I am just ranting. Just wondering others opinions. I feel very strongly that changing all of these things is infringing upon MY rights of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression. In my school, the valedictorian is NOT allowed to have God in there graduation speech, and this is the case in many schools across the nation.

dont sweat the small stuff man. there is alot more important and dangerous things going on. like the border being wide open allowing the invasion of mexico. how the muslims are slowly and quietly invading europe and wont be long before it happens here too. how the whiny, pathetic left wing liberals are more worried about the "rights" of terrorists than protecting our country against them (i speak of the terrorist surveillance act which expired for those who dont know). the list goes on and on.
