  Well, as one of those "excuse makers", I feel obligated to respond
  to your pompous, if misinformed, opinions.

  As a single income family, my wife and I don't have a lot of money
  to invest in charities.  What we do have is time, and have spent
  many hours working with the Burnside Community Council, the
  Portland Plunge, and local church food distribution agencies.  No
  money out of my pocket, 100% of my "contribution" went to the
  intended recipient, and no organization that discriminated in any
  way that I found objectionable was supported.  

  So if you want to bitch about my not contributing to the United
  Way, how about you making a *real* contribution some time, something
  that hits home a little harder than having a few bucks taken out
  of your paycheck every two weeks.

No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor
should they be considered patriots.  This is one nation under God.
