Maybe you''re nuts. Just because there isn''t mandatory forced prayer in schools doesn''t mean kids can''t pray to themselves any time they want to in school. Nobody can ever stop you from praying whereever and whenever you so please because prayer is almost always silent and to one''s self. Did you EVER even think of it that way? Of course not.

Maybe it''s the fact that the kids haven''t been praying when they could have that''s caused all these disasters. Did you ever think of that possibility? Of course not.

So sad. Can we go back to the days when children prayed? I think that it made a world of difference in the events of our country''s history. Call me a fool if you like. But check your national history, as well. So many disasters one after another years since prayer has been taken out of schools. Maybe....

You need to be up on your stats. There are only 3 confirmed dead.

"Officials had not determined what caused the explosion Thursday night but said they suspect sugar dust, which can be volatile."

This paragraph should have been two or three not ten.

I suspect the editors are seeking to engender fears of terror by holding back the information that sugar and other similar powders are well known to be prone to explode in certain situations.

I am really getting tired of this pattern of government and media fear mongering.
