I also enjoy this thread and the lack of rancor is refreshing.
Stevepaa, you sound like a nice guy and I believe the good Lord is going to ask me first and foremost how I treated the least of my brothers. And I hope I have some time left to improve in that regard. However, I'd ask you to reconsider your alarming choice of the words "genes", as you use it in the first post in this thread. The Hitler references are apropo here, as outrageous as that may sound to you. While it cannot be disputed that if you plotted the outcome of any human endeavor it would align itself in a bell curve, cause cannot be determined by plotting outcome.
Jeff Higgins, I thought your post was an excellent one, and illustrates that neither side has the corner on the market on concern for their fellow man. Whenwe're paying the taxes we're paying, we have a right to weigh in on how the money is disbursed.
