<DIV>Hi Lance,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm trying to get a reading on what Randy is like. There are plenty of
crimes that can be legitimately laid at the Republican Party's door, but the
Democrats, in my seldom humble opinion, had a lot to do with enabling those
crimes. I wouldn't devote one minute or donate one dollar to stop my state
legislature from licensing same-sex couples, if a majority of voters elected a
legislature willing to do so, but I've offended all kinds of people presenting
analysis that this is simply NOT a constitutional issue. Incidentally, the judge
who issued an injunction against the federal moratorium on drilling new wells
made the same error -- he's substituting his own discretion for that of the
Interior Department, which is not a judge's role either.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Insisting that marriage is what it is, is not what I mean by a "crime"
either. Making it the signature issue of the age, when its really something of a
side issue, is a way of covering for more serious crimes, like using a budget
surplus to "cut taxes" when we were already $5 trillion in debt. Getting
distracted by side issues is one of the Democratic party's worst contributions
to enabling serious crimes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Religion... that's always a hot button, but I'm beginning to conclude that
a large majority of voters and citizens don't much care about the hot-button
religion issues, because the relevant law doesn't really interfere in most of
our lives that much. Its just an overlay of rhetoric and smug assumptions as to
what all the "right people" think that causes occasional flare-ups. I mean, no
matter who we elect, legislators simply don't have much jurisdiction to pass
laws about religion anyway. Congress shall pass NO law...</DIV>

<DIV>I would love to see you and my new coworker Randy go at it Siarlys. The
guy is a "recent" convert to the Democratic Party (used to be neutral) Ever
since he saw the crimes of 2K (all committed by the Republicans) he felt he
needed to side with the "good guys".<BR>The guy knows enough to sound
intelligent and deflate those he talks to... but I wonder how much he knows if
he were to go against someone who actually KNEW what they were talking about
instead of broadsiding someone and thinking it makes him look smart. I don't
mind listening to him, but wish I had a clue so I could stand and fight.<BR>Oh
well, choose your battles and thus far he hasn't crossed the line on religion
with me yet to get my vocal.<BR>~Lance<BR></DIV><BR>
