I appear to have upset some people by expressing my opinions. Removed from the list so to speak. Interesting that the example of why I am against special rights was not mentioned. Just so you understand where I am coming from: I am against special status for anyone. Violence is unnacceptable in any form. ALL PEOPLE need to be protected. ie: If you kill a Cop you should be hung. Why? if you kill me you should get the same. Gays are campaigning for special status; when all they really need is recognition as Human Beings, with all their rights intact. Special status makes a political statement that I object to. It would seem that this gets lost in the translation somewhere. I shall depart with grace and leave you all to ponder. Never fear, I shall not re-appear.....Goodbye Mudcat
