As a black, gay, jew, I am 5 steps passed offended by this thread. This was to thank the mods, not bash how some amendment was voted on, or what the meaning of words are. This forum is not the venue for political discussion, drop it guys.... My opinion of the whole thing? so much for the separation of church and state... one of the founding principals of this nation... now drop it and get back to thanking the mods (and MIKE!!!) for a great site.
