"The law is meant to control actions, not beliefs." Fair enough, Little Hawk. BUT—

I am NOT saying that anyone should try to regulate anyone else's beliefs. What I am saying is that if someone has expressed the belief that the Holocaust never happened, or that Blacks should be rounded up and sent back to Africa, or people who are physically or mentally disable should be euthanized (and someone did actually say that to me once as I stood there leaning on my aluminum forearm crutches!), then I don't see how I could ever regard them as a friend. They have revealed a very ugly aspect of their character, and—frankly—I would take what they say as a warning that if they ever got the power, they would do exactly what they say.

That is what I'm saying.

And remember:   other people judge you by the friends you keep. And not without good reason.
