Ask the next victim of a hate crime how he or she feels about the light sentence given to the criminal. I really think that you're too focused on a proposed means as a surrogate for the desired ends. Just because you don't want hate crime legislation doesn't mean you're indifferent to hate crimes. A couple of other examples. Just because you don't support affirmative action doesn't mean you're a bigot. Just because you're not Born Again doesn't mean you have no morals. Just because you don't like unions doesn't mean you don't support workers. Just because you don't want to ban flag burning doesn't mean you're unpatriotic. I could go on. To me it makes more sense to focus on what you're trying to accomplish. If your particular proposal doesn't have much popular support, find a different proposal to accomplish the same thing and run that up the flagpole. Confusing the means with the ends is not very productive. Karen
