    and found it to be very interesting. The postings here remind me of a cartoon I saw in the newspaper years ago. Several people were shown in the picture and the caption was - "What version of the truth do you want to hear today?" I do believe that history is written by the winners. The facts may be totally different. What concerns me most is that some people in the US want to block discussion, especially of controversial topics. Facts don't matter, let alone facts that took place 2000 years ago. Freedom has as many definitions as there are groups. And now the catch phrase is moral values. I looked up moral and value in the dictionary and there is no mention of Christianity. Moral values is not new to exit polling. This morning on NPR the discussion centered around moral values. The LA Times has included the phrase in it's exit polls for years. People who consider themselves to be Christians do not have a monoply on moral values. People who subscribe to no religion can have morals and values.
