so, do they think celebrating 'killing fascists' is controversial? Somebody be sure to pass this on to all those WWII vets, who liberated concentration camps, that killing fascists is now controversial.

Great, another religion thread. They always end so well.
Let me try: Our country was founded on Christian principles, without prayer in meetings we don't have a chance.
No, no no, this is exactly what started the Ayotollah, next thing we know we'll be wearing burkhas.
No no, well you get the picture.
Me, I've prayed before trials, before tests, at the courthouse, at restaurants, no one has ever stopped me from praying. Now state sponsored prayer is a whole other animal. We have that pesky old first amendment, drafted by men, who recalled what it was like to have a state religion and wanted nothing like that here. I think they were pretty smart guys.

I got one of his cds about 2 years ago, from a friend, who is Senegalese. I love it, and play it alot.
Glad to hear you liked Amazing Grace. It wasn't a critical success, but I thought it told a little known story really well. Most folks have no idea about the abolition of the slave trade in Great Britain, or the story of the Song Amazing Grace, and its relationship to those abolitionists. I saw the film with a local group involved in the modern day abolitionist movement.
Best movie this year, btw, I think was UP. very moving. I also really liked Funny People.

very nice review, I can't wait to see this. I love his music. Did you realize that he played a part in the biopic about William Wilberforce, Amazing Grace, he played Olaudah Equiano, a freed slave active in abolishing the slave trade in Great Britain.

I was there as well. I was struck by the idea that they were not supporting any specific party in Iran, but calling for the respect of human rights. I was proud to lend my voice and presence to theirs.
