buggyone, you drive me buggy! you do not respond to any of my points about the calculated destruction of the foundations of our society, you just want to know how i feel about dick cheney and sally ride! if you had understood my post, you would deduce that i do not care about dick cheney supporting his daughter, that is a natural parental role. and i certainly take nothing away from sally ride's accomplishments because she was a lesbian.
but none of that means i want the definition of marriage changed. as david brookes said in a very good article in playboy "you have to honor the things that have lasted" (paraphrased)
