Koan, > As far as what government's duties are that is up to the subject democracy not you. I'm part of that "subject democracy" just as much as you are. So yeah, it is indeed up to me to define what the government's duties are. I vote, I speak my mind, and I debate those who have different ideas. > Dogmatic religions and cultures. Religious freedom is also a core tenet of conservatism. Don't like "dogmatic religions"? Don't believe in it. And exercise some tolerance for those who do. Middle Eastern fundamentalists tend to dislike limited government, individual freedoms, and religious tolerance. Seems like many liberals do too. Tenchusatsu

14 Year Old Bangladeshi Girl Gets Death Sentence For Being Raped ["The medium for conservatives is the same in both the middle east and the US" says koan. Sure it is. American conservatives do this all the time too. ] 101 lashes while her parents watched. Even after she died, the insult continued: Amazingly, an initial autopsy report cited no injuries and deemed her death a suicide. Hena's family insisted her body be exhumed. They wanted the world to know what really happened to their daughter. Fortunately, the doctors who did that autopsy have been arrested, as has the rapist. Here's hoping there's justice for little Hena. mypetjawa.mu.nu edition.cnn.com
