That's gorgeous! On a recent trip to New Zealand I thought I saw wild roses and I dashed off to get a good look at them. They were indeed wild roses, small delicate flowers with a faint sweet scent. I think I was acting like I'd just made the biggest discovery ever - I wish I could have taken some cuttings; I would have had them growing and creeping all over the place in no time. :)

Oops - sorry about the mis-post - that was meant for the one about the wild rose. :} I have nothing nice at all to say about the godless godnaggers who want to use evil means to make outcasts of children who do not believe their delusions.

Cool! Coming from a school that has prayer every morning, I wish we had prayers like this. Equal prayer time for every religion!

If we have to respect the prayers of others by bowing our heads regardless of what religion we are, the chaplain should have to respect the prayers of others by kneeling to Mecca. It's only fair.

I really want to campaign for this in my school. If anyone finds somewhere that does this, post it please.

Aargh! Sorry for the double post.
And now I'm only making it worse...

Such a blatantly obvious point (yet so often ignored), and an excellent illustration of what the word SECULAR really means.
