[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 49081, member: 126"] Re: Aren't we better than this? This is the PC movement run amok (IMO)... For another example how about the outrage over public funding of free birth control? Not remotely on the same scale as people being killed for different religious beliefs (happens every day), or expressing free speech (cartoons and criticism), but important to some for constitutional reasons so worth inspection, just with a lot less spin and drama. Yes there is a lot of true obscenity around the world that does make this petty stuff rather embarrassing in comparison, but we are in the silly season for hyperbolic inflated claims about all kinds of hot button issues to inflame small people with small picture thinking over small issues, to manipulate their individual voting decisions for a larger prize. Of course maybe I'm wrong and this stuff is really important... nah. :-( JR [/QUOTE]
