How could someone hold that much hate in his heart without popping like a balloon? Poet, that post was the first and only support of Falwell's and Robertson's comments I've seen. I'm still not sure where the bright line is with Christian fundamentalists. I found it somewhat comforting to see that it took someone as far out there as he to support Falwell. Karen

I like how 'satirists' have been added to the enemies list. <gg>

Fanatics. They are all the same whether it is religious, political, left, right, whatever. Hate is a very powerful and motivating influence however the hater wishes to characterize it... JLA

Well, it is sad and outrageous. But I think he is just following all the scriptures, rather than being selective. I am sure he is familiar with the admonition to hate your father, mother, family, etc. ... _____________ The topic of hate got be thinking about that Lennon song: you know...the one where he imagines a world without the divisive hatred of fundamentalist religion. That got me to tapping my own imagination--all in fun, of course. So I imagined... --A series of refugee camps established by the world coalition along the Pakistan border and elsewhere. --The Northern Alliance in (relatively) absolute power in Afghanistan, thanks to American assistance. --The Taliban essentially expelled from the game. --The refugees returning to a life under (relative) freedom, to re-build their country. --An agreement for the N.A. To maintain and to model the moderate arabic position to the world..including a committment to religious tolerance, if not freedom. --An International coalition to de-mine the country and to establish the infrastructure, in at least one city, to address educational and health needs. --The largest in the world--an international military/research base in Afghanistan, for the purpose of preventing and combating terrorism...this base/facility to be representative of all countries from the world community. --This facility to include an international team of scientists and engineers researching measures against chemical, biological, and technological war-fare. --Being able to find money everywhere I go...on the sidewalk, in the park, under logs, practically everywhere. <g> __________________________ Good to see you back, Poet. Flying has never been safer. People will soon be purchasing for Nov. 22 as they return to counting their blessings and focussing on positive values.
