It was my 'hometown newspaper' for many years. My day just wasn't complete until I had parused every page. I had considered mentioning those letters myself. Not sure why I didn't, other than it would have been ***Off Topic*** Yeah, I know. Like THAT's ever stopped me before.<br /> <br /> My heartfelt thanks to Kathleen Johnson for bringing it to everyone's attention. I read S&S every day. It was my ‘hometown newspaper’ for many years.

That is a fantastic camp. Funny a friend of my daughter's came back today from a religious camp named after the county we live in (I'll be investigating this). Anyway the first things she said were there was Jesus, but that there wasn't a lot of Jesus, almost as if she doesn't believe or perhaps she knows I don't believe. I would love to see more of this around here. Fat chance at the edge of the bible belt, but I do see science camps advertised here. Wonder what kind of science this is? Christian Science? Will continue to do what I can to piss of the 'Religious Wrong'<br /> Hurrah for the good guys/gals.

I do love how xtians always point out that our country was founded under xtian principles. esp. since god wasn't added to the pledge until the 50s.

Didn’t know that until now, so decided to do a quick wikipedia research on it.
