Yes, God will judge what is moral and I'm betting God doesn't care about this years liberal fashion. ------------------------------- Have you spent any time with dogs?

"Many on the left may protest that they do not believe in the ideas or the political systems that prevailed under Hitler, Stalin or Mao. No doubt that is true. Yet what the political left, even in democratic countries, share is the notion that knowledgeable and virtuous people like themselves have both a right and a duty to use the power of government to impose their superior knowledge and virtue on others." creators.com Good Thomas Sowell quote. And it applies to energy among lots of other things.
