Has anybody else noticed Dan M.'s obsession with race? I know a lot of people groan when I bring abortion into various topics.... and I think that I finally know how you all feel what that happens. I mean this is ridiculous. Its nearly impossible to have a discussion around here without Dan M. turning it into a "Republicans are Racist Bigots" thing. I could point out that Congress didn't convene immediately following that decision to start writing a Constitutional Amendment - and the pass such an Amendment in short order. I could also point out that the US Constitution doesn't require two years for any amendment to pass. I could also point out that the US Constitution doesn't provide for the potential absurdity of a tyrannical judiciary creating a law plainly opposed to that which the citizenry had established for two years until democratic processes can actually reverse that law. I could also point out that the deplorable state of "colored schools" were clearly not providing "equal protection." I could also point out that desegregation of schools didn't really begin in force until Congress passed subsequently passed a Civil Rights Act - whose specific name is eluding me at the moment. But what's the use? I'm not at all convinced that Dan M. is at all interested in dealing with the issue at hand. That's the only explanation I have for him failing to respond one whit to the subject at hand in Massachusetts or the subject at hand regarding the beliefs of Evangelicals. Why criticize liberals when you can bash Republicans as being Racist Bigots instead? I give up. JDG - The ends justify the means, Maru.
