Goodness-- you certainly are trying hard to hate this thread, aren't you?

First, it's a common misperception that the thread represents the Center. It's a place for people who dislike the extremism and personal attacks on the many RW or LW threads that abound. It does not mean that the views of every participant are going to reflect some middle ground all the time, but you will find that the discussion of positions is rational, intelligent and polite. It is one of the rare places that people actually listen and consider the other side.

Second, you seem to have not understood my post at all, but then I don't think you really wanted to. You seem to have read that I approved the taking of children to the FOlsom St Fair. Did you miss my saying "I was appalled. I won't even pretend to be openminded about this. Some things just should not see the light of day."
I used to be in CHild Protective Services, so don't preach to me about that stuff.

From there I was trying to segue into behaviors that were in your face, that cross lines, imo. Any behaviors. I was not comparing the behaviors in the moral sense. Syb and Lane seem to have understood it just fine. Syb gave an excellent explanation of why Romney's speech bothered me, so I won;t even bother. And I don't think you really care, anyway.
