It would probably never be an issue in Canada, you'd have to elect an idiot like George W. Bush before it would be allowed to surface.

                         Your experience with Bible Thumpers must be a lot different than mine, but I'll take your word for the ones you know.

                         In the long run, however, people who think like I do would constitute such a tiny little minority, it wouldn't be worth a political candidates time to worry about us.

                         Getting back to Amos' point, though. Even if these "faith based" people were all honest and upright, we had civil programs in place to cover these kinds of problems, and Reagan and Bush, Bush gutted them, and Clinton did little to help restore them. Maybe that's what bothers me the most.
