That sentence wasn't inclusive and I hope was just ill-considered. He should have made it inclusive with other faiths and beliefs. Better to promote freedom and responsibily to ourselves, nation and world, than promotion of particular interest groups. <BR/><BR/>Elizabeth Alexander's poem for the inauguration said it:<BR/><BR/>"What if the mightiest word is love?<BR/><BR/>Love beyond marital, filial, national,<BR/>love that casts a widening pool of light,<BR/>love with no need to pre-empt grievance.<BR/><BR/>In today's sharp sparkle, this winter air,<BR/>any thing can be made, any sentence begun.<BR/>On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp,<BR/><BR/>praise song for walking forward in that light."johnthebarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255924659739608684noreply@blogger.com
