Disagreeing with that comment here. I love the bells that ring out for mass
in the Mexican neighborhoods where I lived in Guadalajara, morning, noon and night, and down in Rio, too. I would also love to hear them here in my neighborhood and never do, in Arizona, except on Sundays on the Mexican side of town. To add the lovely, Muslim call to prayer to my days would be another blessing.

Regardless of the post that I cannot read,
the answer is, "HELL NO!!!"  If you need a reminder to pray, set your watch, cell phone, whatever.  The U.S. should never allow the blaring cacaphony that occurs daily in sectarian countries.  Individuals, not organizations, should be disciplined enough to pray when they should rather than have peer pressure or society force them to do so.  Religion is one thing, Stalinism is another.
