- You don't have to. It's all too obvious. David has a legitimate reason
- anyway.

-
- Granted, it shouldn't be an issue. The fact is, though, that it *is
- an issue. For some of us it is a very big issue.
-
- >You, Mr. Stimson, seem to make it one.
-
- Wrong. People like George Bush, Pat Buchannon and Jesse Helms make it
- an issue. The Catholic Church makes it an issue. The BSA makes it an
- issue. The generally opressive, repressive society in which we live
- makes it an issue.

-
- Perhaps the world would be a better place if *everyone took the time
- to examine what the say, and the potential effect it may have, before
- they say it.
-
- >It may not be your fault, but it is INDEED your problem.
-
- Yes, it is his problem, and it isn't his fault. It's also *my
- problem. But then, figthing oppression should be everyone's
- problem.
-
- >Far too often these days people substitute a cause
- >for a personality.
-
- While others go without either.
