Scroll down to Ella Chenault's letter.

And yeah, I know it's the same old song and dance but when I read them it still amazes me the way people think.

Sadly, it was this same kind of attitude that lead to the subjugation and near genocide of an entire continent. The holier-than-thou perspective reduced the original inhabitants to "savages" and justified, at least in the immigrant's minds, their subsequent actions.

Sanctimonious assholes.

And that letter is why everyone else needs to voice their opinion to their Congress men. The narrow-minded minority will win, otherwise.

Sodom and Gomorra, please. That story is NOT about homosexuality.

I pray (pun intended) for the day humans quit using religion as an excuse to oppress.

Heathen Nation

I like the sound of that.

While each is entitled to their own opinion, it is a mistake to expect others to follow your idea of "right and wrong". These two people are not following the preaching of Jesus, they're just pushy know-it-alls venting their spleens in the editorial pages [img]frown.gif[/img]

Of course, why those nut-heads get printed, and rational discussion is avoided is another matter entirely...

Jackasses, the both of them. ugh...I'm not gonna rant, I'm not gonna rant, I'm not gonna rant.....

*hands Ski a beer*

Helps stop rants.

As for Frank's letter: I had no idea the country's problems are because we don't have enough shame going around. I'll work on it, thanks.
