Evidently I'm too ignorant about doing that.

I moved to General Topics. I included religion in the word list.

But actually, I wasn't trying totally diligently to do that. It seems TO ME that this topic would just as CORRECTLY AND REASONABLY gone into EXTENDED NEWS.

Those rabidly averse to any hint of religion can take a Prozac or a valium. God happens to be a rather interesting Source of info about many current topics.

When a tabloid is a source, we don't hear screams to put it in a TABLOID department.

When a personal relative or associate in Florida is a source on Renal Reno, we don't hear screams to put it in a PERSONAL RELATIVE or ASSOCIATE-IN-FLORIDA department.

Why does it get your knickers in a twist for a current topic of national and international concern from a Christian perspective to get posted in the natural topical areas for that document?

THIS DOCUMENT IS ABOUT TERRORISM. THIS DOCUMENT IS ABOUT WWIII--SEVERITY, PREPAREDNESS, RESULTS. THIS DOCUMENT IS ABOUT NATURAL DISASTERS. THIS DOCUMENT IS ABOUT CHINA, RUSSIA AND ARABS GANGING UP ON THE U.S. WHEN OUR MILITARY IS OVEREXTENDED OVERSEAS. . . ETC. ETC.

Given all that, people with an affinity for the "religious" section COULD LOGICALLY complain that the document should go in EXTENDED NEWS.

Sigh.
