it doesn't negate the fact that white men HAVE ruled and that women and minorities WERE considered possessions Well, what we're referencing here is the ever present battle between the law of the jungle and the law of civilized people. One is instinctual, dominating, and cruel, whereas the other is rational, egalitarian, and protective of each other's rights. Some religious folks might equate it to the battle between the flesh and spirit as the hormone driven "sin nature" battles against the learned moral values that guide our society. Btw, Long-gone and I have had quite a few discussions in the past over many topics. Despite the many disagreements we've had (mainly over a gold backed dollar) I believe he has a good heart... I believe he may simply have misunderstood you..

Yours was an excellent post.....it made one exceptional point, that being: It's that kind of rash presumption along with a refusal to take charge of one's own anger that obliterates any possibility of understanding others. ....and that point pertains exactly to the venom that flies if one mentions gays in a "politically incorrect" light. The rudeness and anti-female attitude that erupted here with so much quick resentment and so little sympathy for the battle caught me by surprise and saddened me. Substitute the word "heterophobic" for the word "anti-female" in the above statement.
