Which reminds me. Am I the only one who finds it odd that Southern Baptists hate it when people protest the war? Hello!!! You're PROTESTant. You're whole religious ideology started by a PROTEST. It's IN your NAME! Where's the consistancy. Southern Baptists against protesters is like saying Burger King against cows!

As for PBS, I'm glad they waited until AFTER Lindsey Buckingham's Soundstage aired before talking about funding (this is a FLEETWOOD MAC board, after all).

ok. just to clarify: I sympathize with the Catholics in Ireland, I think the English need to get OUT. But my arguments with Brwn_eyes arent about Ireland's troubles (Protestant vs. Catholic) The Protestants were an offshoot of Catholicism started by Martin Luther (the Reformation) and they actually share many customs such as the eucharist. The Church of England is a different story, started by Henry VIII in protest because the Pope wouldnt grant him a divorce from Catherine of Aragon. (Henry was Catholic until that time)
at any rate, my whole point was to highlight Brwn_eye's hypocricy about the comment deploring crosses in urine....I just wanted to point out that a cross is only a cross, and unless you imbue it with meaning (veneration) you cant desecrate it.
