Since your post wasn't directed at any specific person, I'll interpret it as
being aimed at anyone who reads this newsgroup, and I take it upon myself to
contribute the following information:

- Speaking for myself, the mention of religion does not scare me.  I'm not 
religious myself; that is my own choice to make, and I've made it.  I have 
friends - close friends - who are religious.  They don't scare me, and I don't
normally scare them.

- I do not think very highly about oppression of religion, unless the religion
in question involves such questionable practices as human sacrifice or other
unethical acts.  However, I do not think very highly about oppression BY
religion, either.  In fact, I'll say I'm willing to "oppress" anyone whose 
religion involves oppressing me.  I do not see this as oppressing _religion_,
however, it is a matter of self-defense against _individual human beings_.

- Further information:  The exclusive use of capital letters in your post is
an eyesore, and I suggest you learn how to use the capslock key (or whatever it
may be labelled on your keyboard).  Also, the title of your post makes very
little sense.  I, for one, cannot locate my "ALL UPSET", nor do I recall ever
having such a thing.  In fact, I don't even know what an "ALL UPSET" is.  
In other words, bozo:  Learn how to use the apostrophe.  

Since your post appears to have originated from a computer belonging to an 
American educational facility, I would also like to point out that you should
be ashamed of yourself for exhibiting such an embarrasing lack of command of
the official language of your own country, which is probably also your own native
language.  (If my assumptions here are incorrect, I apologize - but I don't think
they are.)  Did you graduate from high school, without even learning your own
language?  Or what?

Maybe pissing in people's mouths is popular with you for fun, but if I have
heart burn I'll take some antacid.  Sorry to deprive you of a sexual fantasy.

I am sure some rural folks (hicks) are proud of the images Aaron Copland
is portraying in his music, but most of the "rural people" are too busy
doing the Achy Breaky Heart now.  Too bad the culture has changed since
you were a little squirt.

You do know I expect you to flame this letter and, if I am lucky, give me
another little "quaint southern colloquialisms."

I am going to digress a little more.  I went to a Christian school for the 
majority of my life.  And, I will be the first to say, enrollment in a Christian
school is the quickest way to convert someone to Athiesm... 

Religious Zealouts are simply a horribly intolerant breed. I know, I lived
amongst them and they attempted to "mold me" to fit their standards.  I had
a nice motherly teacher tell me that it was my 'duty' to get married and have
children and if I didn't, I would never fulfill God's "purpose" for me on earth.
I had an old hag of a Bible Teacher inform an entire class that because a 
classmate of ours was not baptized before she died in a car accident that she
would go to hell.  

These are the type of people we have let run this country for twelve years.
America was never meant to cater to the religious right.  It was not meant
to be fully dependent on religious beliefs.

Mr. Curious (must have been some real out-there '60s parents
to give a kid a first name like "Just").  Not only is there

Whoever chose John Philip Sousa's "The Liberty Bell March" as the

either a bleedin' genius or a bleedin' idiot, depending on his/her

Wait a minute here!  Clinton's PEOPLE like Copland's music.  I am sure that
'ol slick Willie picked out the Fanfare for thr Common Man and Simple Gifts
for his inaguration ceremonies - let alone could play either on his sax.
The two are fairly simple arrangements, but Clinton sucks on the sax.

Copland's music has been played at almost every inaguration since it was
written.
