Why should I give up my lifestyle and my way of life for yours? That's what you are demanding from us...........that we run things the way you run things. So you tell me what so great about your way of doing things that should make me want to give up what I have. The stats tell me things suck in your world; that 80% if the people who believe in creationism live where you live........that ignorance and poverty is rampant. So what have you got that offsets those negatives. And if you come back with some mumbo jumbo that you don't understand what I am saying.........that don't bother posting to me in the future. I don't give a damn about your lifestyle. I just don't think it ought to be funded by taxpayers, and everyone here knows yours is. I don't have any collective notion of either your lifestyles or mine. I'm speaking for me, myself, and I, and I don't want to pay for your lifestyle. Yet, that's what you're demanding I do. I'm not aware of any widespread problem with ignorance here or for that matter, poverty. While we have a few percentage points more people living in poverty than WA state, a person living in poverty in Arkansas has, I can assure you, a far better lifestyle than a person living in poverty in WA state. And a person living in poverty in MS does, too. I don't have any comment on creationism as it has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
