But religion...Well, I agree that it's a crap logo. But religion has always been deemed to be a "private matter" in France and Italy, inasmuch as it's not taught in schools and the omission doesn't seem to have done any harm. The day creationism and "intelligent design " are taught in British schools is the day I shall finally despair.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655026.post-43840764778399014072007-09-28T15:50:00.000+01:002007-09-28T15:50:00.000+01:00But will you, Ian?

The body politic can be the only religion in the long term and it is building on the already natural decline of traditional religions across Europe.<BR/><BR/>The State will provide all, the state will be obeyed, the state will be all encompassing.<BR/><BR/>NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655026.post-74633597304734170002007-09-28T13:27:00.000+01:002007-09-28T13:27:00.000+01:00Aw shucks - thanks.Aw shucks - thanks.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655026.post-20533574652720958912007-09-28T11:36:00.000+01:002007-09-28T11:36:00.000+01:00non-sequiter: You are a difficult man to give an ...non-sequiter: You are a difficult man to give an award.
