DCF, what you and I have appears to be a difference of opinion. But I take issue with the following misapplication of rhetoric. >"the ultimate act of slavery"....."consequence"? WHAT? .. you make motherhood(AND fatherhood) an act of slavery?? That is as racist a remark as I have ever seen and you know it.< My remark was not about parenthood as a genus, and you should have figured that out if you had taken the time to look past your redi-pak judgment and read what I'd actually written. My point was specifically about involuntary parenthood, motherhood to be specific. Voluntary parenthood (or involuntary but accepted parenthood) are different things entirely. And I am (morbidly) curious ... how was my post at all racist, and how do I know it? No need to answer - I'd probably just get another dogma bite. Like this one ... >As anti God statement as I have ever seen , and our country was not founded on that premise. If you choose to be your own god, fine, you sure that right because the men that founded this country made sure you Do have that right... men by the way that by and large believed in one God. And I am proud the "Puritanical tradition" is alive and well...It is a moral position. TELL ME ANY GOOD THAT HAS COME FROM ANY OTHER POSITION?????????? You are why I taught my children to love everyone but HATE even the clothes even stained by sin...< My post does neither attack nor exalt a God. It does attack the narrow tradition of intolerance and cruelty handed down by three millennia of black-robed sourpusses. I could tell you reams of good that come from stepping out of the box the priests would have us stay in ... but I am diffident that you'd listen. So why am I posting this? Good question. Boredom, perhaps.
