Is Mise, as I said, I have no problems with silent prayers being chanted to yourself at any time really, because no one can tell you what to think or not think.

I would suggest the bulk of the politicians wouldn't be praying to a god during this 'minute of silence' though...

You are getting way too serious about this matter for me now though Is Mise.
You would be better having a conversation about this matter with the like-minded Josephus than me.

Susie,
There would be no point in discussion if we all agreed. Obviously you believe you have no higher moral or social responsibility other than yourself to which you are accountable. Do politicians have the highest values of morality and social responsibility they espouse and want for us all?

They need to be checked in social conscience and motive.
