Peg, you might note that I didn't use the word "liberal." That's a stereotype I hesitate to use. I'm not an idiot, but if you feel comfortable stereotyping me as one of those "cretins," that is your right. I do consider that a pseudo intellectual act, however. Also, if GWB represented a "tyrannical authority" I would stand with you against it and him. But that's not the case.
