True dat. One reason I try to avoid the "you should shut up because..." argument. It can be hard sometimes, though, when emotion gets involved. When I talk with my buddy who's perfectly fine with creationism being taught in school......I really, really, really have to remind myself that he has the freedom to both hold and preach his ridiculous position. Gotta' attack the opinion, not the opinion holder or his right to hold it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:190816 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
