I've heard exactly one story about Ashcroft's religion causing problems, and that was because he was holding prayer meetings in his office, making non-religious workers feel as if they had to pray with him if they wanted to get ahead. Any such thing happening where *I* work would get pounced upon pretty quickly as "creating a hostile work environment". Have your prayer meetings if you want, but not on company grounds or on company time. Every other (negative) story has been about how privacy and due process rights have been under attack by Ashcroft. Show me some real evidence of this (anti)religious bigotry. -- Matt _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
