You're welcome.

Again, you're welcome. The quote is one of my favorites (the author, as
you know, was once a British subject, and that country eventually
produced LBCs, thus keeping us on topic, eh?), but I have shortened it
somewhat, and used an incorrect citing format. Madison is referring to
the interference of the government in establishing a state religion and
the possible erosion of rights. It was quoted in a US Supreme Court case
on religion in schools; I don't have the entire quote, but will look for
it, and send it to you in its entirety.
BTW, whatever happened with Steffy's Midget?
