re: "#62(gelinas): In Hebrew, "brith" means 'cutting' and is a
reference to circumcision."
More accurately "ritual circumcision." (And the Hebrew word "brith"
means "covenant." In Hebrew, the United States is called "Artzot
ha'Brith" - the "lands of the covenant (agreement)". B'nai Brith =
Sons of the Covenant.)
And
"I'd thought Presidents Day was established at the same time as Martin
Luther King Day, to keep the total number of holidays the same."
As demonstrated by the listing, there is no "Presidents Day" as far as
the federal government is concerned.

Aaah. Now I understand. Thanks Joe.
I guess President's Day is just a bank holiday then? I know we get it.

Bru got #0's story from Worldnet Daily (www.worldnetdaily.com) Be advised
that this "news" site is run by a far right wing fringe group, run by
Joseph Farah. Here is a bit about Farah:
http://hnn.us/comments/13537.html:
"Joseph Farah describes the United States as a moral wasteland and calls
on Americans to embrace God. His proposal for change includes abolishing
the income tax and the IRS, withdrawing from all international treaties
and institutions, repealing all gun laws and ending federal funding for
schools, the arts, conservation, housing and agriculture while
simultaneously expanding the role of the church in national life,
including actively censoring the entertainment industry and having a
direct role in education and family life."
Get your news from credible news sources. Do not get your news from "news
sources" that are really fronts for groups with radical agendas. The guys
behind Worldnet Daily are as fringe radical as the Rev. Sun Yung Moon's
group that puts out the Washington Times.
Also pushing this lawsuit will not get nativity scenes allowed back in
schools, it will have the opposite effect. If anything it will cause the
other religious symbols to be banned. And I reject wholeheartedly the
notion that christians are being made "victims" and "second class
citizens" in this country because of trivial things like this. Not when I
am an athiest and all the money I have to carry around in my wallet says,
"In GOD We Trust".

re: 68-
Please be advised that you are reading a 4th-hand accout regarding Mr.
Farah. (i.e., Mr. richard is quoting somebody who is quoting another
source of what Mr. Farah's supposed views are.) If we have learned
anything up to this point, it is that Mr. richard is quite an unreliable
source of information himself, let alone at such a distance from the
original source.
Perhaps Mr. richard might be able to provide some direct information,
but we suspect not.

no klg, maybe you might be able to provide direct information refuting what
was posted about Farah. Do a google search on his name, you'll see
numerous of his writings, first hand proof of his radical views. Some
fringe crackpot puts up a website with an official sounding name, like
worldnet daily, and people automatically assume he is credible. He isn't.
This guy is another egomaniac political wannabe gadfly like Lyndon
LaRouche. But of course klg doesn't care whether he's credible or not,
because klg claims that he alone knows what is best for society. I am
starting to think that klg's continued refererring to himself as "we"
indicates he has some sort of "messiah" complex, like this Farah character
seems to, and he envisions himself as having followers, thus "we" and not
"I". Joseph Farah and klg are bretheren!

Mr. richard:
Was it you who posted the link regarding Mr. Farah? And was not the
link to a 3rd-hand source?
Do you not think that you ought to be the one repsponsible for
defending your own source material?
(Not that we are surprised by your reaction. It is that to which we
have become accustomed.)
Thank you.
