thank you Aqua those a kind words,

jseal, I can see what you meen... it's just sad to see that so much of public school is run down and considerd 'less' favorabul to privat schools but i understand the dilema.

and personaly i would rather put my kid's threw a private school if they where better then public school then to alow them to atende a worse choise jut to make a point.

I think my point thow is that public school dont have to be bad, almost all of the swedich school system is public and is whit some exceptions an excolent school system, i know it cant be translated to how the us school system is organiced but i get the feeling from listening to the political debating that Public is inherently bad, some republicans have even called it comunist thinking.

I think the point i was aiming for was simply that public schools would be able to provide a stabule teaching on religon that is unbias in contradiction ot a privatly founded muslim or cristian school, i have read horror stories where the word Eveolotion was baned, or where saying that the earth was millions of years old was hushed and the term "Very Very VERY old was to be used".

Or my own personal favorit... sexual education... taht in sweden is Mandatory to the muslim comunety's horror and they tried to escape this threw starting private schools... and also go around the mandatory mixed classes boy's and girls can NOT be class seperated in sweden... this caused a scream in muslims becase it mean that children can be 'forced' to bath together in a swiming pool.

This is ofcourse a cultural matter that we cant just go, HEY this is sweden this is how we do things ACSEPT it... but i think it should be explained that in sweden things are like this, this is our law and this is why we belive this way.

Religon should be in a religon class, it should not be in any other subject (apart from hystory perhaps) there should not be a debate wheater relion based creation should be taught in school on the same level as Evolotion, religon based ideas on the age of earth should not be taught as is there is evidense to the subject.

And most of all, Right wing religus fundamental ideas should STAY OUT OF SEXUAL EDUCATION! Leave the condoms alone, leave contraseptivs alone leave SEX alone, yes i belive that sex betwine young teenagers are probobly not the greatest of ideas but saying that it's moraly wrong and think that ambsinence is the answere is just playin stupid.

Forcing women to wear clothing that hide them becase of islamic ideas that women are tempting and should be supressed, is wrong claming in any sence that a man can be apolagiced from rape and blame a woman for dressing provocativ sickens me but this is what many arab coutries law say, and what many muslim fundamental peopel belive... Rape is a crime yes... but only the person raped becase she ofrouce tempted them to rape her.

Right now areound the world fundamental relius groups are breathing fresh air, not just muslims but cristians as well... i cant help but think that it's a bad idea to play as hard as bush do about his cristian agenda when you hear him given questions of the Rapture is comeing.

We are starting to thread on the things that make the western world great, and that greatness is diversety of spirit... we are not in a war of religon but a war of ideals of exstream...

and to fight this war our leaders continue to push away from our greatness further in to the exstream... where civil liberties are trampled on where lies are used to further agendas all in the name of freedom...

Is Freedom at the price of Liberty realy worth it? and is it realy Freedom.

When a very close and dear freind of my family passed away fron canser in 2002, an illness that we ironicly and cruly found out about on the same day as 9/11 2001... i wrote a poem from her funeral, this is the last two lines...

"While today might bring us heartache pain and sorrow.

Remember there will alwayes be a new tomorrow."

Pain and anger make is hard to see that the hardest and most worse sitovation will still become the past the next day, it might take time but there are very few finaleties, most of them have timelimit's... in 2004 my gf felt pretty down about bush being elected a second term, and i could understand her, (she is amerikan btw and still live in the USA) but it was still just 4 years, two of witch have soon passed.

Weather you agree whit Bush is not realy the point of my little rambel, but more that the sitovation we are in now will pass, there is not a great 'end' coming we wont one day seize to be... unless you do belive in the rapture i guess but that is another thing altogether i guess.

Alot of peopel, good peopel are going to suffer before we come to 'tomorrow' and they should not have to do so becase a bounch of peopel belive that their way is the only way... and right way.

I want freedom, i want Liberty but i dont want either taken for the protection of the other... Not for muslim fundamentalistic ideolagy, Or for a "crusade of freedom" for peopel who dont understand what they are doing.

A realy good freind of mine and former of Irak told me back in 2003 when Bush can't sucseed in Irak they way they want becase they dont understand what they are doing... he was hopefull that they would get rid of saddam but he knew that it would not work.

you have two cultures the compleat oposit of each other two ideals that are so compleatly razor edge defined difrence that you cant make it work threw force.

Noting illustrated this more then what happens in Afganistan where a cristian is about to get executed after converting... and bush and the western cristian society is suprised and angerd.

I'm not saying it's right far from it but it defines the problem, there are SO many major problem in Afganistan, problems created in the lat few years that need to be adressed that are on a so much bigger scale then a lone mane who converted to cristianity.

But it's that one issue that these peopel get worked up about, In afrika Famin and Hiv is causing to much suffering... and bush get's hung up and funding founding to organcations that help whit sex educations contraseptics medical treatments... becase they also advocate Abotion rights and contraseptics... for the many very very young pregnant teens who in many cases are raped and HIV infected.

Sometimes you need to look at the whole picture and not simply put on blinders and capture one problem and let the others slip out of their hands, and i have to wounder if the world would ahve reacted as outraged... if the man in Afganistan was Gay instead of cristian... becase so far no one hvae cared to notise those who die becase of who they Love, not belive
