If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you're dead and rotten, either do things worth the writing, or write things worth the reading! Benjamin Franklin
When the government puts its imprimatur on a particular religion it conveys a message of exclusion to all those who do not adhere to the favored beliefs. A government cannot be premised on the belief that all persons are created equal when it asserts that God prefers some. Harry A. Blackmun
