<DIV>I merely pointed out that this topic has been well discussed on this
list. In fact, I think most of the key players on this listservs
positions are well known. There isn't much more to be gained by bringing
up the topic again and having everybody reiterate the same points they've been
making for almost ten years. Surely there are other topics of interest to
discuss in the community. </DIV>

<DIV>More to gain? There was a candidate for state election from one of
these bigoted churches. The local Republican party seems to think this
doesn't matter. Why is that not a cause for
concern? </DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>I was concerned at the time. But he was soundly defeated. Our
system at work. Messy but effective. The Rep.s' ran someone they
thought would win, and the public let its will be known. If they think a
person with such views is a good candidate to endorse, that is their right.
It is others right not to vote for them, and to organize against them. I
certainly exercised my rights in the matter, and encouraged others to do the
same. I'll note the election is now over.</DIV>

<DIV>Do we actually have to elect the bigots to office before we should
care? </DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>Of course not. Do we need to endlessly discuss the same issue over

<DIV>Or is it just that they don't say things about your religion? As long
as they berate the Mirmons and the Muslims it is OK?</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>As long as there are different Holy Books, or even different people
reading the same Holy Books there will be people berating others for their
beliefs. Every church I've seen has followers that berate others
beliefs. But, most members of different religions choose to follow
their beliefs, and let others follow theirs. "To each his own," seems to
be the general attitude, and is mine-so long as they don't impede the rights
of others in the practicing of their religion. Have the local churches
impeded anyones rights? Or have they simply exercised their own?
Rights are an interesting thing. Everyone wants to defend their
own. Yet many get angry when others choose to exercise theirs.</DIV>

<DIV>I can understand why you might not want to speak
out.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>Actually, I am known in my family as the one most likely to speak out.
Locally I I choose to speak out via actions more than words. I've spoken
out about the economy and local politics via my tenure with the Chamber of
Commerce (paid a high price for that one), against homelessness and hunger
with my work for Sojourners' Alliance, in favor of volunteerism with my
leadership of the defunct Latah Community Volunteer Center, and in favor of
youth via my work with the Boy Scouts and Latah Community Youth Advocacy
Council, and my work against drug and alcohol abuse. I try to do my
share, thank you. Please don't doubt my decisions to speak out, simply
because they are in areas where you are not active.</DIV>

do.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>Please point out where I said these local churches and the beliefs they
espouse were not a cause for concern, and/or criticized anyone in my initial
message. Betcha can't.</DIV></DIV><BR></DIV>
