<P>Edith Kieler must die! --------- What is that you say? I guess if you have not heard that phrase then I guess you're not one of those Trekies, from STAR TREK that is of the original shows with William Shatner of 911 fame too. In that episode of "The City of the Edge of Forever," Kirk, and Spock "follow" McCoy by stepping back into the past at just before he arrives and during the days leading up to WWII. Soup kitchens abound with this woman, played by the actress Joan Collins who gives a speech before each meal. The "guests" are required to listen, but do NOT have to agree with what she says. I think if some sermon rather than a prayer be given then it's O.K. You can always say Amen at the end to confirm it as a prayer, or keep your mouth shut, that is until the food arrives. Yours truly, Joe<BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>What's your opinion? Should prayer be required as a condition of
<DIV></DIV>>government-funded services?

<DIV></DIV>>Stephen Goldsmith is USA President Bush's pick to head the new Office of
<DIV></DIV>>Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. On CBS "Face The Nation" TV

<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>"If you are homeless and you don't want to be mixed up with a religious
<DIV></DIV>>organization, you should have an option. Government should never force you
<DIV></DIV>>through the front door of a religious organization. If, however, you have a
<DIV></DIV>>choice of a faith-based organization and you, the individual, choose to go
<DIV></DIV>>there and you have to pray before your lunch meal, you should be required
<DIV></DIV>>to pray."
