Government-subsidized Hinduism? Not a problem. That's a mulit-cultural thing, like prayer rooms, halal meals, and reordering the school day for Muslim children during Ramadan. Have a cross at a national monument? Now, them's fightin' words!!!

I've seen one yoga book written by a Christian. If anything, it's more like a form of exercise than a form of religion, and yoga's about as related to being a Hindu as Santa Claus & the Easter Bunny are to being a Christian. Maybe post-war yoga's like government-funded chaplains during a war, just one of those things that seems to make human beings tend to function more-effectively...Anyway, far-worse ideas have been promoted on NPR. And yes, I can see how the "pump 'em all full of (legal but expensive-as-hell) drugs" lobby, which owns quite a few politicians in both "major" parties in fee simple, might object to this kind of non-drug competition. Religion's fine, but in this case follow the money.

<sarcasm> what about Govt funded ballet classes for our soldiers? After all, if NFL players take it for agility and speed, just think of how it would help them out on the battlefield.

Just think....the left will be all for this to "support the troops" but really be all for it for how it will demoralize a bunch of macho guys for forcing them to take ballet, at the same time teaching "diversity".........</sarcasm>

Another tax supported liberal mouth piece spouting BS - NPR.

Meanwhile, the Army and our dear congressional representatives are making a big deal out of housing issues at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C.  When the real issue is that Walter Reed has long ago been in need of tearing down and a new state of the art facility built in its place.  It is a travesty that these soldiers are provided care at a third rate facility.  Our nation can certainly afford a first rate medical facility for those that have sacrificed much in defense of our country. 

Walter Reed was operational some thirty years ago, in 1977.  All are well aware of the revolution that has occurred in medical processing, computerization, patient care, etc. in the span of three decades.  It is impossible for a plant and facility of this type to accommodate those changes.  So, the Army decided to close Walter Reed by 2011 and open a new combined services facility on the grounds of the Navy Medical Center in Bethesda, MD.  However, there is one problem with that "story."  It is 2007 and ground has not been broken on a new facility.  It will take several years to build the new facility and then outfit it with the wherewithal that is needed to have a first class medical facility like that of Womack Army Medical Center, Fort Bragg, NC.  When is this going to start?  Time is short.  Our soldiers deserve better.
