- What are you, an alcohol-o-phobe? Don't you know that alcoholism is a
- predisposition just like homosexuality? John Tower couldn't help being a
- drunkard. He was simply living an alternate lifestyle. Shame, shame on you!
- Surely you wouldn't want someone to be passed over for a job because they were
- exhibiting the lifestyle that they were born with a predisposition toward.
-
- Texas is just too progressive of a state. First a recovered alcoholic US
- Senator, and now a recovering alcoholic Governor: Ma Richards. Looks like we
- need to add a clause covering the civil rights of alcoholics to Teddy's
- homosexual civil rights bill, since the rest of the nation isn't so progressive.
