- If the Colorado referendum doesn't scare the p_ss out of you, better
- drag out the history books. It's not just THEM, because once persecution
- and intolerance become the norm, they will begin to seek other areas
- to impose their life style and values. Does any one remember the "Moral
- Majority" and the potential threat they represented to the 80% of
- Americans in the minority? An example... We don't want to teach our
- kids about sex, let alone let them have birth and disease control. We
- tie the hands of health care workers by censuring certain topics they may
- discuss with patients. On the other hand we wonder why we have so many
- teen pregnancys. Part of the reason AIDS is such a problem right now is
- 10 years ago Reagan and the Moral Majority decided since the problem only
- affected gays (a lifestyle abohored by God) that the best action was to
- do nothing and let the problem clense the population of these
- individuals. It was like a divine flame clensing America in some peoples
- minds... Only when they began to realise the implications of the disease
- did the government decide to take up the issue in any major way. People,
- this has a lot to do with Beer. When THEY are done doing their work,
- THEY will come looking for YOU. There are already people trying to
- pressure the government to affect the things you read, watch or listen
- to, how and when you pray, and what you eat, drink and smoke.
- Read about Krystalnach, Proabition, the KKK and the DEA under Anslinger.
- Educate yourselves and reject intolerance in any kind.
