The Bible and education

The story Feb. 9 regarding certain Fresno City College students and the ACLU attacking instructor Bradley Lopez for inserting Bible thoughts in his lecture: How awful! Let's examine godless education after Darwinism replaced the Bible. Students murdering other students, drugs, profanity, police protection, metal detectors, and the Columbine mass murders.

If our textbooks had not been stripped of our early history, they would know that as early as 1642 Massachusetts passed the Old Deluder Satan Act. This act mandated schools for the masses so that children would learn the scriptures, lest they go astray.

When children were taught their ABCs in Puritan New England, they were taught a great deal of theology. Beginning in 1692, New England children were taught basic reading skills through a book called "The New England Primer." It taught biblical truths to generations of early Americans. The McGuffey Reader, first published in 1836, sold over 120 million books. It also was a biblical moral guide.

'Fix this country'

As taxpayers in this country, we are paying for stuff we do not want. We do not want our tax dollars spent to fight a war we did not want. The poor are getting poorer; the sick are getting sicker. We should be trying to fix this country, not everyone else's. Millions of people are still homeless from Katrina, hundreds of thousands of people are homeless in Florida, but President Bush still wants to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on Iraq.

If Iraq wants help, make them pay for it. They have trillions of dollars worth of oil that can be used to fix their country. Why do we use our hard-earned taxpayers' money? This isn't about terrorists anymore. President Bush is the worst president we have ever had. His approval rating is 28%. He should be impeached for putting us in a war that we should not have been in. The Iraqi people don't even want us there.

We voted in a new Congress to fix the problem, now they are backpedaling. Our founding forefathers would roll over in their graves if they could see what

9 to 5 to 9: Rearranging the bits and pieces after deployment

It took two weeks to repurpose the tea pot.

His tea pot, which had steamed merrily each morning since the start of winter as it waited for Dad to get back from PT. His tea pot, because he prefers his caffeine fix via leaf, not bean. He's tried hard to be like the cool kids, but he's never truly liked coffee.

I stared at his tea pot for 13 straight days after he left. I should empty it and clean it, I thought, before it starts to get disgusting. But I couldn't make myself move.

Ladysmith shares piece of South Africa

It has been more than 20 years since Paul Simon helped introduce the American mainstream to Ladysmith Black Mambazo on his "Graceland" album. These days the group is still doing what it has been since the 1960s -- using a capella harmonies and captivating dance to share a piece of South Africa with the world.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo has won Grammys, performed at the Olympics and for Nelson Mandela, plus worked with such entertainers as Michael Jackson to Josh Groban.

The group stops in Fresno on Tuesday night to sing and dance at the Tower Theatre.

Protests, frustration at Haiti aid bottlenecks

Hunger turned to anger in Haiti's capital on Wednesday as hundreds of protesters marched through the streets accusing local officials of demanding bribes for donated food.

Aid workers say that food and other supplies are now flowing into the country three weeks after the Jan. 12 quake, but red tape, fear of ambush, transportation bottlenecks and corruption are keeping it from many people who need it.

Hungry protesters jogged along a broad avenue in the Port-au-Prince suburb of Petionville waving branches and chanting, "They stole the rice! They stole the rice!"

The American people are owed an apology. This time a real one, not like the ones our president has been giving all over the world for his dislike of America. The apology needs to be for the hoax of global warming.

I want to see Al Gore beg for forgiveness, not just from Americans, but from the world. He has done a great wrong to his nation. I want to see him humbly return his Nobel Peace Prize. If he doesn't, I want it taken back.

I want the entire U.N. to bow before the world and admit they are liars and step down in humiliation. I want the fraudulent "scientific community," which helped perpetrate this fraud, to be exposed and fired from any "science" job they now hold.

Our nation would absolutely be destroyed by initiatives that would have been put in place had the truth not come out. We have been misled purposely by our government, the U.N., false science and, of course, Al Gore.

Admit your lies and publicly accept the shame you deserve.
