Doing Gods' work on Earth may not pay much, but the retirement plan is out of this world. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

But now, people can live long on the earth before going to heaven or hell to retire in God's hands <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

My two favorite sayings on this theme are:
People who turn to religion in thier old age are cramming for final exams.
Anyone who wants to keep prayer out of school must eliminate exams.

Thank goodness I never went to a school that required prayer! That belongs in church only... not school!

i went to a private school and at second grade i was begging to go to public school, not that there was anything wrong with the private school but i thought that public would be a better learning experience.
this is me making decisions about my own education at age what?
when i got to third grade i stood up next to my desk to answer a question and thus began my first learning experience.

I went to public elementary & high schools in NYC, USA in 1940's & early 1950's in which some teachers were Communists. Some asked us to sing Communist songs, e.g., "Browder* is our leader, we shall not be moved..." I & many others refused, and we were not penalized.
For awhile after classes, I attended private Albanian culture school run by Bashkimi (pro-Enver Hoxha youth). Athough presumably a Communist, Hoxha was a fervent nationalist. I learned self defense with knives.
*Earl Browder, head of CPUSA

Carl, my school had a bad rep for gang wars everyday, and it did but my defense was staying out of it...believe me it was difficult to hold a C avg.
i shouldnt call it gang wars cause it was more like one fighting with itself but i knew alot of them passivly and they were great people otherwise
