- BAD is in the eye of the beholder. Some say that it is ok to lie to prevent hurting
- someones feelings, but I feel that lieing is bad, so we shouldn't legalize lying?
- Also, NOT making something ILLEGAL is different from making something LEGAL.

- Only things that are to the detriment of people should be made ILLEGAL not things

- they cause me no problems ans so I will choose not to cause them problems. You,
- however, feel that you need to pursecute these people and this is what I don't

- Since Not ALL americans or Coloradoans Believe everything they read (i.e. the Bible),
- these vues should not be foreced upon them

- the Bible supports FEAR of GOD (not of other people), and NO where do I find the
- Bible supporting HATE!!!!!
