Agreed. That's the price one pays for being flippant about something. I just meant that the Bible-thumpers can be shut up a bit more easily now, that's all. I've met my share of religious Democrats, and they're no less fanatical than the Republicans. -- Sumant Srivathsan http://sumants.blogspot.com
