<DIV>Chas,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Wow. Been called a lot of things by those who I have dared to
disagree with. But I gotta' admit, your description of me as a
particularly obnoxious and slobbering troll was simply delightful! Where
did you come up with THAT one? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What other institutions has the left been assaulting these past
years? Well, the military comes to mind most prominently. The
courts, public education, the slandering of American historical icons like
Abe Lincoln, etc......... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And regarding your charge that I am "homophobic"........ Come on,
Chas, can't a guy have some sincere reservations about gay marriage without
being called a bigot?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just because I find certain behaviors to be physically unnatural and
unhealthy, and would rather people not engage in them and die a horrible,
lingering death, does not mean that I fear or hate such individuals. Quite
the contrary, I feel I am the one exhibiting a genuine concern for them by not
enabling dangerous behavior. You, Chas, are doing them no service with
your patronizing and smug "acceptance". I always have treated gays the
same as all other people. I have specifically chastised my young children
for using terms such as homo, fag, etc. that they drag home from school. I
advise them that we are ALL children of God. But, Chas, that does not mean
that I have to condone and accept as perfectly normal and natural, behaviors
that I disagree with. All your denigrations aside, this is a reasonable
position and I am proud of it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have a really awesome and cool day!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your beloved Troll, --Tony</DIV>
