Please don't misunderstand the opposition on this list... or at least my
opposition to you on this list.  I never proposed that Lois, or anyone else,
deny you access to make your statements - and I don't think anyone else on the
list did either.  I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU, which fought for the
rights of Neo-Nazis to march in Illinois (Skokey?), and I'll fight for your
rights to claim your views.  As Voltaire said "I'll may disagree with your
arguments, but I'll fight to the death your right to voice your argument" (Ok,
so I paraphrased it a little ;-) )

What I object to in your arguments is that your facts do not necessarily back
up your arguments.  If you intend to espouse "admittedly conservative" view-
points, please state form them into logical statements; not right-wing drivel
of "White and black" incidents.

As to your inter-racial marriages post, the scientific community has killed
that study - as replies on the list have shown.  Please find something else to
make you stronger -- Gary, please use some soap. (whew!)
