I agree with Nancy. I wish we could have been able to address this issue

Ah, but the funniest if you were actually there was the Public Health Prize,

Well, two gas masks, actually.

Feeling a bit verbose, a few notes about what Mike P wrote.

I know that there are some Christian colleges that expect every faculty member

I'm not aware of any studies comparing the thyroid gland between the sexes. The

Yeah, sure it depends on what the mission statement says. Some religious

I do believe, however, that on average, Catholic institutions are more tolerant

Yes, I would agree with you all, there are many flavors of Christian
