RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] southpark speaks the truth

Exactly!

This why I have major problems with the Religious Right.  They're
neither.  They try to push their ideas into nooks where they don't
belong.  I know the tenants of Christianity; I went to Catholic school
and it was pounded into our heads relentlessly.  I was brought up to
respect other people (the idea behind "Love thy neighbor").

I've also read the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights -
as long as what some other entity is doing does not interfere with my
liberty, etc., I'm golden - they can do anything they want.  There's
also a line somewhere in the DoI that says something about people being
equal or something.  I think people forget this.
