awwww, isn't this precious?:
"school prayer was not banned"
and
"Several state courts had previously banned school prayer"
And you wonder why so many Americans detest "liberals"?
Which was it? "school prayer was *not* banned", or "school prayer ... *had*
[been] banned"?
Which do you like better?
It was not banned, but it was banned? or
It was banned, but it was not banned?
Do you feel strongly both ways, lojbab? Do you feel strongly that school
prayer was banned, and that school prayer was not banned?
This little demonstration of women's intuition is exactly why 32% of
American 12th grade girls' responses were not statistically significant, 23%
were statistically significant because they scored lower than if they'd just
guessed, and of the 45% that was statistically significant, the amount by
which they scored lower than boys was statistically significant on 24.4%, by
which they scored higher than boys was statistically significant on 2.6%,
and the difference between boys and girls was not stastically significant on
18%.

Do you feel this strongly about adultery laws? Adultery laws WERE repealed,
but adultery laws were NOT repealed?
Or what about women's intelligence? Do you fell strongly that men are more
intelligent than women, AND that women are more intelligent than men?
This is a keeper.
