Disclaimer:  the following is the sole opinion of the liberal writing the 
post, and in no way should be thought to reflect the opinions of any others 
of his ilk, living or dead, real or fictional.....I agree with Don Coombs 
that this has been blown out of proportion.  I do not think that Mr. Wilson 
is a racist.  I do find his beliefs on slavery and the civil war curious, 
and I do disagree with them, vigorously.  I also disagree with his views on 
evolution; topless car washes; and probably more taste, less filling; Ginger 
or Maryanne; Wilma or Betty, but I can't equate him with that black-hearted 
old man in Hayden.  Slavery will no doubt be an issue during this 
conference, but, as other people have written earlier, this is a diverse 
community, existing in a diverse world, and, as Rob Keenan pointed out, 
prior restraint ain't a good thing.  On a related note, I happen to know a 
few members of Christ Church, and despite our philosophical differences, 
I've even had a few beers from time to time with one of them.  To protect 
his innocence, I will not reveal his name, but I was shocked to discover 
that he's not a bad guy.....for a conservative, of course.
