As for free exercise - trying to enshirine one's beliefs through the power of the government doesn't exactly qualify as "free exericse". Of course you're right about this, highball. But that is not what the language of the second clause envisions. It means non-coercive exercise, exercise respectful of other religious faiths, and of people who hold to no religious tradition, without the government endorsing one faith as against all the others (that's what the establishment clause means).
I wish the atheists could grasp this concept -- and I do consider atheism to be a form of religious expression. But your typical atheist wants all religious expression (but especially Christianity) wholly concealed from public view (except for his own, of course, which is the anti-God religion). religion is something, apparently, that can only be tolerated in the privacy of the home. (For now.)
These folks tend to be very coercive individuals, I've noticed....

[ Has anybody asked you what are your personal beliefs on germ theory? Do you have a cosmological objection to that one, as well? ]
Germs are parasites, like democrats.. and other socialists.. almost like Unions.. but more like predators, like RINOS.. and other stealth democrats.. They live on the products of the productive.. or on the productive themselves.. Thru a miroscope or a telescope germs are all around us.. You might be a germ.. Who knows..

Keep checking, please. I believe the speed of light to be slowing down, and your experimentation may support this belief. That means you'll need greater quantities of cheese each time around, right? Slower speed = longer waves?

[ Your personal beliefs do not invalidate the mountains of evidence that support the ToE. ]
Evidenticary mountains is what drives Sisyphus nutz..
And don't do the dung beetle any favors either.. Locked into the supposed truth of a mountain of 2nd reality evidence.. Well, theres metaphorical structures (like above) invented to highlight that/those error(s).. The dung beetle is no doubt Gods attempt at humor.. and it worked too... LoL..

It means non-coercive exercise ... Yes. Perhaps that's why the courts are so sensitive to this issue when they review the actions of governmental officials. Example, gathering students into an auditorium and recommending that they go to the library to read a creationist tract -- like that Pandas book which figured so prominently in Judge Jones' opinion.

I didn't realize it was ME we were talking about!I was compelled to substitute "individual human" for "you," as it would be troublesome to suggest such a practice on an entity that is not only far more than an agglomeration of particles but also a person with whom I have been corresponding.

So how many times have you checked the speed of light in your world, and for how long?
To: Fester Chugabrew
So how many times have you checked the speed of light in your world, and for how long?In my world? All the time.
There is a reason the speed of light is called a constant.
We have been thru this numerous times Chester. I am sorry you just cannot seem to grasp these basic concepts.

But its O.K. or read in a textbook that Evolution is a FACT in toto implying any other concepts are(as) pure fantasy.. guided by a "teacher"(conservative probably) that will get fired for trying to equal out or display alternative ideas.. =OR= a lefty teacher that will NOT allow even discussion on alternative ways of believing about this stuff..
As usual you protest too much..

You're one of the few people with whom I correspond who lives in a vacuum. How long have you been living there?
To: Fester Chugabrew
Do we observe the same portion of lunar surface today that was available for observation by people in the 1st Century?Yes. However, due to spacecraft circling the Moon, we can see a side that was not visible to folks prior to spaceflight.
