Al,
Now everyone sit by the fire and sing "Kumbahya"...horse pucky!

If folks are rude, crude or socially unacceptable to the rather civil standards on this forum, then [edited by ADMIN-JS] Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I have some rather strong beliefs which are far, far from being generally socially acceptable, much less politically correct.

The key factor is, however, these beliefs are MINE and the sacred United States Constitution guarantees me my right to have those beliefs and to act upon them in a legal manner, like voting and contributing money to candidates who espouse the same beliefs as I. It does NOT give me the right to voice those beliefs in a privately owned forum, which is exactly what this list constitutes.

So, ratdog and anyone else who has confused the first amendment as pertains to PRIVATE media, I strongly suggest you re-establish contact with your 6th grade civics teacher for remedial studies. Otherwise, I respectfully suggest that you take your whining and mis-informed view of the Constitution elsewhere.

Flame away.

Tom A.
