    It is interesting to note that there is no mention of separation of church and state in the Constitution. (Yes, I’ve read the whole thing and didn’t see it but if you do let me know!)So therefore, you have no basis for this claim other than personal reasons. The term separation of church and state is from a letter Benjamin Franklin wrote to a Baptist church that was concerned there would a state-funded church similar to the Anglican Church in England. Also interesting, Benjamin Franklin considered himself a Deist, he thought the government should show reverence to the “Creator”, as Franklin himself acknowledged.

    America is not over populated. I live in Jacksonville, Florida a city of over 840 square miles. If every person in the world were to live here, every person WOULD be able to fit inside my city. Also, its isn’t ‘breeding'(we’re not dogs!), it’s making a new generation with the person you love, which is natural and every child is a miracle. So, if you have a large family, forget what other people say and make miracles! I myself want 9 kids, but I’m planning to adopt most of them.

    I’m guessing you mean figures like Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, etc, on night-time news. Well the answer that pops out first to me is that when these men that are highly respected journalists were first starting their career, there were not many women in news period. So by the time they make the big spot, they are older. But, there is Barbara Walters, who also has night-time stories and is respected also.
