  9. I really hope he's going to be as unique as he looks.

    Speaking of your presidents, Mimi, I think I remember you quoting a piece of the American constitution which articulated the separation of church and state. If you did, can you please give me the link?

  10. Steph, here's the explanation from Wiki:

    Separation of church and state is a political and legal doctrine that government and religious institutions are to be kept separate and independent from each other. The term most often refers to the combination of two principles: secularity of government and freedom of religious exercise.

    The phrase separation of church and state is generally traced to the letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to the Danbury Baptists, in which he referred to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as creating a "wall of separation" between church and state. The phrase was then quoted by the United States Supreme Court first in 1878, and then in a series of cases starting in 1948. This led to increased popular and political discussion of the concept.


    At the Wiki site, you can find more links and references.

  11. Wilfried, I couldn't find him at first either. I had to look hard and squint.

  12. To us Chinese, there are two kinds of people in the world, Chinese and foreigners (that's the polite term). You foreigners all look alike.
