I can go along with that sentiment, since I probably fit right into
that group. Now with all the hoopla surrounding Gerald Ford's
funeral, I wonder about one thing. The congress I think must have
authorized the establishment of a US National Cathedral (I think
that's what it's called) where this funeral is taking place. IOW
government participation in a religious - specifically Christian -
activity. But my question is how could the congress do that, when
the first amendment to the constitution states that congress shall
pass no law respecting the establishment of religion.
