"People will either grow out of their prejudices, or they won't. Laws aren't going to make any difference. But liberals will sure as hell pass them. "

I sure hope I never gave the impression that I thought laws would stop prejudice...but I SURE am in favor of laws to deal with those who try to ACT on prejudice! "Legislate morality"?...not what goes on inside you...but what you DO about it!.

Sure, Jerry Falwell...or Rush Limbaugh... are extreme examples which deserve a special catagory such as 'reactionary'....but their positions are merely points on a continuum, much like definitions of folk music, and you & I will simply have to differ as to where on that line 'fairness' become 'interference'.....

One of the most amazing, interesting things about sane, intelligent human being is how they are able to look at the same data, situations and information can be interpreted totally differently, and lead us to very divergent attitudes. Just different wiring, I suspect.....
