<DIV>"I do try to support locally-owned stores (which is why I've had you make
copies of keys for mees) even if they, oh Lord, are in Whitman County."</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm confused. I thought you said you were a Moscow
resident. I do work for Whitman county folks all the time. I like our neighbors
to the west, I don't feel a need to meddle in their affairs, and I'm willing to
let them purchase "our" water at reasonable rates.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>"You seemed to do that (not reply) with the questions I specifically asked
you regarding the conscience rule after you wrote "The question that everyone
continues to not answer..." implying you expect an answer to your questions, yet
when convenient, don't answer those asked of you."</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. If you reply to my question with a question (and
no actual response) am I honor bond to reply? If so, should it be in the form of
another question?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Your questions were specious in that we were not
talking about the nurse at a planned parenthood clinic suddenly deciding that
she didn't want to be involved in the tgaking of a life or anyone who
contrived to be hired, knowing full well what their job would entail, and
suddenly opting to not perform their duties. We are talking about personnel
hired at private facilities that had no involvement with abortion suddenly being
forced to perform a procedure they never hired on for. We are talking about
private sector pharmacists being forced to sell products they in good conscience
find abhorrent. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This, and Donovan's "emergency save the mother"
arguments are red herrings tossed out to cover the stench of forcing private
individuals to bow to the whim of others against their will and
conscience.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please consider this my neglected reply. Sorry for
my lack of alacrity.</FONT></DIV>

certain: things don't stay the same.<BR>> The world is dynamic, everything

Change should never be a surprise.<BR>> <BR>> That includes the
unsustainable mindset that seems to think we can keep on developing at any cost.
I suggest if you want to embrace change, look to changing the status quo,
because the thing you are promoting is more of the same. Real change would be
making sure we aren't growing beyond our means, both regionally and
globally.<BR>> <BR>> I'll repeat myself since you don't seem to
understand, I am not against "every new business that might come along that
sells a product that you personally don't feel an immediate need for" as you
wrote. I don't shop at most stores, yet I don't get in their way. That isn't a
big deal for me. But I do try to support locally-owned stores (which is why I've
had you make copies of keys for mees) even if they, oh Lord, are in Whitman
County.<BR>> <BR>> If you find what I have to say tedious to read, then
just ignore me. You seemed to do that with the questions I specifically asked
you regarding the conscience rule after you wrote "The question that everyone
continues to not answer..." implying you expect an answer to your questions, yet
when convenient, don't answer those asked of you.<BR>> <BR>> That's what's
tedious, at least to me.<BR>> <BR>> I'm glad you agree we are all entitled
to our opinions, which is all I'm doing: expressing my opinion. We can hash out
our disagreements, and perhaps find common ground, though I imagine we just see
things completely differently.<BR>> <BR>> gclev<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
