Why does what *you* like matter more than what I like? And just what the hell is it your business anyway? Perhaps you favor majority rule? Then you would lose on this one. Even so, I really don't think you would want majority rule deciding these sort of questions. What if a law was passed to decide if Nick Flor should be allowed to even have sex or not? Tell me why if that wouldn't bother you or not? On which date is it OK to first kiss? According to you, and apparently the Supreme Court, it is perfectly proper for Georgia to regulate that. What else would you like the government to certify? Hair length? Beards? Your brand of coffee? What TV shows you are allowed to watch? How many hours of sleep you get a night? One of the things that makes this country GREAT, Nick, is something I find quite precious: FREEDOM. If you don't know that you've got it, you may somebody learn that you don't have it anymore. >The line has to be drawn somewhere. Yes. In front of my house. > Hasn't anyone else noticed the moral >decay in this country, What moral decay? If you mean people doing things in their bedrooms that you don't like, then yes, I've noticed people like you trying to snoop in where they don't belong. It makes me sick. > or is everyone afraid of getting flamed or called >a Bible thumper? I don't care if you are a Bible thumper. But come around my place and I would probably scare the living Jesus out of you. I've done it to others. It's a lot of fun, actually. And keep your Bible OUT of my government.

The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the Devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell ... -Saint Augustine
