Two things to ponder today:
Two things to ponder today:

1. The Constitution
2. The Ten Commandments


The Constitution: They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq . Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

The Ten Commandments: The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery', and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.

Got this in an e-mail today and thought I'd share it! No offense meant to anyone!

1. Well the constitution question...
I would imagine has a lot to do with the fact that Iraq and the United States are two very different places and that the historical and political backgrounds are very different. I don't know enough about U.S. history to cite examples, but that's part of it I'm sure.

I found the addition of "2" to be quite brilliant.
