Hi,

Just a quick note on separation of Church and State - if I remember my
history right, the Constitution doesn't say anything about separation
of Church and State.  It seems that Thomas Jefferson wrote a personal
letter in which he mentioned the phrase 'separation of Church and
State'.  He also mentioned something about how forcing people to
pay for something they didn't believe in was wrong - but that can be
taken to net.abortion.

God Bless,

Mike Andrews
