The Lord's Prayer is not allowed in most U.S. Public schools any more.
A 15 year old kid in Minnesota wrote the following NEW School Prayer:-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd
If scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the State.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong.
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen

To others of my generation who still do not and cannot comprehend why Facebook even exists, maybe try the following, like I'm doing. Here's what I'm doing to gain better understanding:
I am trying to make new friends without using Facebook, but while applying the same principles.
Every day I walk down the street and tell passers-by what I have eaten, how I feel at the moment, what I have done the night before, what I will do later, and with whom. I give them pictures of my family, my dead dog, and of me gardening, taking things apart in the garage, or fixing things, watering the lawn, standing in front of landmarks, driving around town, having lunch, and doing what anybody and everybody does every day.
I also listen to their conversations, then give them the "THUMBS UP" and tell them I like them.
And it works!
I already have four people following me:
Two police officers, a private investigator, and a psychiatrist.

Sums it up nicely !
When my daughter visited Germany a few times where I was working, in the six weeks (in total) she was there she amassed around 80 friends on facebook only about 20 of them she had met and only 3 spoke English. People seem to be obliged to add other people with no intention of ever really having any interaction, my daughter didn't like to refuse a rquest in case she offended someone I knew. Very strange.

Just curious- "chipping" on the prop blades, and the cowling area-- how is that done, what tool or tools are used, and the end result gives those aircraft parts a "weather-beaten" appearance, perhaps? Hansie
