<DIV>Again, you don't dispassionately consider all the alternatives and <SPAN class=correction id="">accurately</SPAN> discuss my points. And my name is misspelled.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't dispute your numbers for <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">CC's</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> possible impact on the levy election you mention. However, 500 votes in a future levy election most certainly could swing the election. There was a school levy election recently in Idaho that was decided by 3 votes. It was in the news the past few weeks. I could paste in a link to this story, but the links I found require registration.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I wrote in the post you quote on your w<SPAN class=correction id="">eb</SPAN> site that much of the opposition to the levy came from "motivated fundamentalist Christians." This includes many more than just the members of Christ Church, so your focus on your church as the whole source of the voting block I discuss does not <SPAN class=correction id="">accurately</SPAN> reflect what I wrote. You have noted that many other churches in Moscow share some of the same values as Christ Church, so <SPAN class=correction id="">omitting</SPAN> those churches from your analysis is a glaring error.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The manner in which you distort the intent of my words again reflects a flat out inaccurate analysis of the whole issue as I presented it, as you have done in the past on your web site.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So now are you going to tell me that 500 votes can't be the deciding factor in a future levy election? Of course not. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My recent post "Church, State and Politics" mentioned the possibility of Christ <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">Church's</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> growth increasing their potenti<SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">al</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> impact on a school levy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are you also going to tell me that Christ Church does not want to grow in size? That you would not be happy to see Christ Church grow to include many more voters who would vote against the public schools?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I assure you that in future school levy discussions any focus I may have on the issue of religious opposition to the public schools will not only mention Christ Church, as my post you reference on your web site indicates I already did when I mentioned "motivated fundamentalist Christians," not just members of Christ Church. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know you are a very smart man. Why do you appear to not consider the obvious <SPAN class=correction id="">rebuttals</SPAN> to your arguments?</DIV>
