Well, for starters abortion was outlawed long ago after it was legalized in the 1970's. Also, children are now not only allowed to pray in public school they are required to do so just as it was before they were prohibited from doing so in the 1960's. Yep, I would say that this nation is headed towards the religious side of things. I hear they even are returning the Ten Commandments to the court rooms. 🙄

The issue regarding "Separation of Church and State": Originally our forefathers wrote about it to keep the Goverment out of the Church, not the other way around.

Tell me, POO, in what way does a curfew, impinge on the rights of night owls?
In what way does applying a set of laws which apply only to a minority of the world's population potentially impinge on the rights of the rest? For example, by taking away the "rights" it chooses to believe are immoral?
