Rick R- I agree with you in substance but it seems to be the Conservative movement who are against gay marriages, abortion, and who are always hounding libraries to throw out "Catcher in the Rye". I think this is because the Republican Party has been usurped by the Christian Right and the NRA. If these external PAC's were absent, I might be more of a conservative. One more thing: It wouldn't surprise me if it is the Republicans who finally manage to TAX the internet. Wait and see. BlueJay
