Subject: RE: BS: Ten Commandments on Public Property?
No, not really, Carol because in drawing the Christain Right into *our* conversation we take folks who have been brainwashed by the Jerry Falwell's and turn them into folks with whom we will now be sitting accross the table from... Yeah, think about it... It could represent an *opening* to take back a lot of *supposed* Christains by empowering them while teaching them the art of compromise...

This ain't rocker surgery here. Just good ol' fashion salemanship. Yeah, you can stake out yer new scripture and get absolutely nada or you can *compromise* yer positiona and maybe move a little closer to yer perfect world...


Ain't gonna happen, Bobert. When religion gets mixed up with politics in this country, the result is always in the direction of more extremist fundamentalism.

I consider you a good friend, Bobert, even though I've never actually met you face to face, but I'm not going to take people trying to turn this country into a theocracy lying down. I'm going to fight it.

Anyway, posting anyone's commandments in government buildings is unconstitutional, and I am against it.
