Subject: Re: Never Again...


I couldn't agree with you more.  I get tired of all the "crap" (MY
judgement, of course ! <g>) that I see and =I= would limit it if I could,
but I haven't been asked (yet) to accept the post of "ruler of the world" --
but I AM amienable IF asked ! <g>
But every time I think I would limit this or that, I think that ALL
limitations of individual behavior, speech, whatever, THAT DO NOT DIRECTLY
AFFECT ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL (not a foetus, by the way !), should be resisted
tooth and nail !
But that does make it seem that we "agree", by merely tolerating the
existance of, some points of view, but to NOT tolerate them is an even worse
error, or at least I think so !  Sure does make you have to put up with a
lot of crap, though, doesn't it ? <g>
