What you say is true, to some extent. Children still have the right to
worship as they wish in school, so long as no one hears them. There are
several cases which are being appealed which make my point. One case
involves a schoolgirl whose videotape report included a discussion of
what Jesus Christ meant to her. The teacher stopped the tape, claiming
she had no right to show that material in school. The ACLU backed that side,
citing there was a violation of the separation of church and state. When
so called civil liberties groups suppress religious speech, then one
must conclude that if school prayer isn't banned oficially, that it is at
the very least under increasing attack.

While I don't believe in statewide mandatory prayer, I do believe in a
teacher led prayer in some cases. As the public schools are meant to provide
a service to the families of a community, then if all the members of that
community wish to have the teacher conduct prayer, and it's fine with the
teacher, then of course they should pray. Freedom of worship, with no one
in the classroom offended.

	This sounded a lot like Bernard Shaw's question to Gov. Dukakis
four years ago about if Kitty Dukakis (wife) were
raped/assaulted/killed if Dukakis would agree to the death penalty for
him. Of course, Dukakis was railed for having still opposed the death
penalty despite the crime to his wife. He was portrayed thereafter as
being heartless and not caring for his family. This is a small Catch-22
for Quayle: if he won't allow his daughter to have an abortion, then
he's seen as a callous, uncaring father; but if he did, he'd be branded
as a hypocrite.
	I would've personally preferred that she had not engaged in
having sex in the first place (if she were raped, then she should have
the option to elect abortion). However, I think if such an event
happened, the last thing a parent should do is disown the daughter. She
needs support from her family most of all, and I agree that Dan's
reaching out to his daughter does not make him a hypocrite. It makes him
a good parent.

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As I recall, gas jumped about 40 cents per gallon during the Gulf war.  Is
this what you mean by stable?  Moreover, although we did access some of the 
oil in the federal oil reserve, the amount was minuscule relative to the 
total market (ie it's effect on price was minimal).  The real reason that oil
prices have been relatively stable is the de-regulation of the oil industry 
by Reagan shortly after he entered office, and a short time later the gas lines
were gone.

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In 1932 the Hoover administration raised taxes in an effort to balance the
budget and bring an end to the recession, thereby turning it into the
Depression.  As we have since learned, raising taxes in the middle of a
recession is exactly the wrong thing to do.  We could even call it stupid.
Yet, what happened in with the budget agreement of 1991?  What is the first
thing Clinton wants to do when he takes office?  Arrrrgh!!  It seems that,
even if we do learn the mistakes of history we are still destined to repeat
them.
