What any of us do in our spare time is of no concern of yours. If I were to choose to use my spare time to write a letter regarding 'God' being mentioned in a convocation speech, what right do you have to tell me that that is a waste of time compared to watching a football game, reading a Stephen King novel, playing Halo, etc, etc, etc.

And, yes, to some people it DOES matter. It obviously doesn't matter to you, it probably doesn't matter to 99.9% of the population. But to the .1% that it does matter to, why do you begrudge them that? I read threads here about "what bugs you" and read things that to me are 1000% innocuous and wonder why people are so sensitive to such things. However, I don't begrudge them their feelings.
What I don't get is why something needs to be changed to suit that .1% of the population when the other 99.9% are fine with it the way it is.
