[HANASHIR:9902] Wall of Separation

It was always understood that there should be a wall of separation (a phrase 
coined in a Supreme Court opinion) between CHURCH (any particular religion) 
and State, not GOD and State (as evidenced by In God We Trust and other 
national traditions which acknowledge God).  That a 'moment of silence' or 
"God bless the Class of 19xx" were outlawed was an extreme from which we are 
seeing popular sentiment to retreat from.
