Well, that's cyclical thinking. It's ok to ban if it's against the law, but we (through our so-called representatives) make the law. So if we don't like something, we pass a law against it, and that makes the ban ok? Someone else asked if I had a specific law in mind... no, just exploring the thought process. For example, if there were a theoretical religion that required the sacrifice of a cat every third Thursday to honor the gods, should they be exempt from animal cruelty laws? I guess my point is that it's all subjective no matter which side of the argument you come from, and there are no absolute truths (unless you say that the this statement IS an absolute truth, in which case we're in a paradox and I'm actually a descendant of that creature that washed up on a beach not long ago). -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:265351 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
