- Anyone who bases _any_ argument on the Bible should get a proper
- education. Hate to break the news to you, Chaney, but not everybody
- believes that the Bible is G-d's word. And even if they did, I can
- tell you (from my Hebrew-Day-School education), that you can twist
- the Bible around to mean whatever you want it to mean.

- I don't. It's just paper and ink. What's really important is all
- the stuff you can buy with said paper and ink. I'd use notes that

- Hmmmm... no mention of the religious center, who generally go around
- minding their own business. Uh, wait a minute... which one of us is
- supposed to have this thing against religion? I'm getting confused. :-)

- _Very_ up-front. Doogie in particular is really up front about having
- a supposed article he refuses to share with the net. C'mon Doogie, we
- get newspapers from all over the world here. At least give me the
- paper's name and date, and I'll find out for myself if you're speaking
- the truth.
-
- I won't even begin to start in on Suzanne Forgets, who can't even
- provide any statistics on her imaginary abortion syndrome. Feh.

-
- Last I heard, picketing was not speech. Try the right to peaceably

-
- "Peaceably", of course, means you can't threaten or harass anyone
- who tries to enter the clinic.

-
- Neither. Moderates and centrists like myself will be around to check
- the abuses from both sides.
