Ed is forgetting, of course, that "the soul of Jonathan was bound to 
the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.  Then 
Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own 
soul."  1 Samuel 18.  So much for Bathsheba.  Uriah the Hittite bit the 
dust for nothing.

As one of those Jews theoretically included in Ed's Judeo-Christian 
world view, I have to say that I much prefer our existing secular, wall 
of separation between church and state, Constitutional society.  I 
wouldn't care to live in Ed's world.  It's too tight, too close, and 
too narrow.  I like breathing the fresh open air, not sucking in the 
fetid stench of tired old bigotries.  If you want to live in a 
theocracy, might I suggest Iran?  Or, judging from Scott's forwarded 
Dear Abby letter, perhaps Florida?  I'm willing to let Florida secede 
and become Theocracy Land.  Jeb Bush is already there; we could 
relocate the rest of the Bushes and call it good.

I wouldn't mind having Texas back . . .
