Neocon: We totally agree on this point. It's the method not the hypothesis. Too many people are willing to let the government dictate behavior through restrictive laws instead of accepting the responsibility to teach these things to our children or each other. It's the coercive tolerance I alluded to earlier. Example: A woman is suing Borders for being asked to nurse her baby other than the public reading area in the store. The girl who asked her to do so was not aware of the fairly recently passed law allowing women to nurse their babies anywhere they please. I am convinced this woman was looking for a reason to sue for money-it's the lottery mentality. She blantantly exposed her breast as if daring somebody to say something. Borders has since apologized and has put up signs all over their store saying you are welcome to breast feed any time, anywhere. That's not enough for this woman, though. No...she wants money, not apologies. No wonder the Trial Lawyer's Assoc. is the #1 contributor to the Democrats. There's another new law proposed: An employer can't discriminate, along with all the other 'can'ts', against an employee for being a 'parent'. Al Gore was waxing not-so-eloquently about this one. Can you imagine the lawsuits from this one? halfscot
