Our constitution is the first agreement we have on how to settle any disagreement. It can be changed, it enough people agree.

This is why I'm ok with the fact that the library has some books I like and agree with and many that I don't care about, and some I don't agree with.

There's a large population in this country that are emphatically not Christian, but i've never seen any organized undertaking or even a serious proposal to get rid of Bible story books from school or public libraries. Occasionally you see people submitting the Bible to a list of books to be reviewed for removal, usually in response to the establishment of such a list by law or a school district.

I'm perfectly fine spending the money of people who don't agree with me.
