Waiting for the plumber to return with the showerhead. I really didn't quite understand why he couldn't do it while he was here this morning, but they said he could come back at six. Therefore, I gave up the screening of King Kong to be here. It's now ten after and I can't get anyone on the phone to find out what's going on. If I have to wait until Monday I'm going to be very unhappy.

Jane · « **Reply #174 on:** December 10, 2005, 06:12:47 PM »

You really needed to stay home and rest anyway.

Good vibes the plumber shows up tonight.

I enjoyed the discussion last night as well. It is always good to know the varying thoughts of varying people on a subject such as this.

As for schools, it just seems to me, IMO (in my opinion, in internet speak), that if a school is going to celebrate the holiday of one religion then it should celebrate the holidays of all religions, or at the very least, of many various religions...but doing even that would ruffle the feathers of many people...which is too bad, as learning about different religions would be very educational for kids...but some parents would object to their children being shown anything other then their own religion.

I myself love to hear about different religions and the storys that are behind them. Watching the Bollywood movies has given me a lot of info on Hindu beliefs and stories which are a lot of fun.

I do indeed have wonderful memories of Christmas celebrations at school when I was a kid. But you know what, things change and I will bet that kids now will have wonderful memories of "Winter celebrations" or whatever they do at their school. Having schools celebrate Christmas is a foreign concept to them, just like rotary phones and people smoking in stores and restaurants, so they really aren't going to be missing anything. I have no doubt that whatever they do for the season will be fun for them.

I so agree with you about presenting the views of all religions. After the last election, there was a ton of news about this town in PA that had dumped the school board that had proposed teaching intelligent design alongside evolution. And then Pat Robertson had to say something about the wrath of god. And then the ladies on The View had to discuss it (and I guess it serves me right for watching The View but I was at the gym and it was right in front of me and I'm not allowed to change the channel) Any way, the point of this rather long winded story was that the young one on the View said something to the effect of, "why can't they teach it, I would want my children to have choices about what to believe..." and felt like yelling back at the tv because, it's exactly that view that proves (IMO) why religion can't be taught in public schools. Because it's not a "choice" if only one religion is represented, you would have to represent the views of all religions in order to truly provide children with a choice, and ensure that you are not alienating anyone.

Okay, climbing of my soapbox...end of rant.

Plumber will be here at seven. I'm coughing like crazy - feel better, but coughing and sneezing is most annoying.

Sorry, BK, but I don't think the plumber can do something about your coughing and sneezing!
