Oh, I see, well how about "under taker"? Would that work? Seems like taking it one way or another works nowadays. Back in '29 (before my time BTW) it was 'anything goes'.

Would you feel the same way if the subject were capitalism versus religon. If the minority wanted this to be a socialist or communist country, should the rest of us just go along because the capitalist pigs offend the sensibilities of the minority of the people?

In some countries the age of sexual consent is 12 years old - which I find horrible. If the minority wanted that to be law here should we be ok with that too?

I realize these are poor examples to get my point across. I guess I feel that this country is loosing all foothold it has on any tradition at all no matter how innocuous it is. And I definitely believe that the money we spent to come up with this court decision was a total waste of funds that could have been better used elsewhere. It's just my opinion ;o)
