Rummy,

 

    I would suggest that your data is biased.  Let me change the subject to
a more controversial one, Religion:

 

DID YOU KNOW 

As you walk up the steps to the 
building which houses the 
U.S.  Supreme Court you can see
near the top of the building a row of the 
world's law givers and each one 
is facing one in the middle who
is facing forward with a full frontal 
view - it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!



DID YOU KNOW?

As you enter the Supreme Court 
courtroom, the two huge oak doors 
have the Ten Commandments engraved 
on each lower portion of each door.

DID YOU KNOW?

As you sit inside the courtroom, you can 
see the wall, right above where the 
Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!


DID YOU KNOW?

There are Bible verses etched in stone 
all over the Federal Buildings
and Monuments in Washington, D.C.


DID YOU KNOW?

James Madison, the fourth president, 
known as "The Father of Our Constitution"
made the following statement 
"We have staked the whole of 
all our political institutions upon the
capacity of mankind for self-government, 
upon the capacity of each and all of us 
to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, 
to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

DID YOU KNOW?


Patrick Henry, that patriot and 
Founding Father of our country said, 
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly 
or too often that this great nation was 
founded not by religionists but by Christians, 
not on religions but on the
Gospel of Jesus Christ."


DID YOU KNOW?

Every session of Congress begins with 
a prayer by a paid preacher,  whose
salary has been paid by the
taxpayer since 1777.


DID YOU KNOW?


Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the 
Constitution were members of
the established orthodox churches 
in the colonies.

DID YOU KNOW?

Thomas Jefferson worried that
the Courts would overstep their
authority and instead of interpreting
the law would begin making 
law....an oligarchy....the rule of few over many.
