Thanks, Alec.

Learning the true meaning of LOL was almost as devastating as learning that there was no such person as Santa Claus.

Gerry, I also remember that "We gather together" song. We sang that song and "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" every year during the school Thanksgiving program. It came after the principal gave a speech about how the Pilgrims had to endure hunger during their first year in this country.

Notice that while we were in school we sang songs that mention God. Unless kids go to a religious school, they won't be singing any songs that mention God while they're in school.

Those days are over. I can see the point of discriminating against children whose families are atheist. But still I think children are missing out on some wonderful songs.
