[Central Scrutiniser]

There was a time when convictions meant something, where understanding and intellect ruled. But, evidently, if you feel reallly strong about your religion and your "morals" are better than anyone else, you can just toss the rule of law.

After all, we only used it and professed to follow it when it suited us during the impeachment.

I'm nasuated by the know nothings that are willing to to throw everything away on the way to a theocracy.

You forgot the part about linking to Rainbow Coalition to DONATE, FGS.

Donate to Jesse Jackson.

Yes, indeed.
Also of interest, some of the very posters
who were calling for Jeb and POTUS to send
in the troops, were (gasp) some of the very
same posters who tore Janet Reno into shreads
for grabbing Elian by force.

Is that called coming (or going) full cirlce or what?

*Good* to see you btw.

Laws were created for men, not vice versa. There was a time when Dred Scott was the "rule of law", a time when the black man was only considered 3/5ths human. Roe v Wade is based on the premise that the fetus is less then human as well.

Sometimes *laws* need to be opposed, because they go against morality, civil liberty, human rights. Especially when it comes to life and death, and actively euthanizing invalids and the infirm.

Starving an invalid, (based on hearsay evidence by a husband who has moved on) because she was less then human, falls in that category. It has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with respecting lesser people and their civil rights.

Substitute "euthanasia, or abortion" for slavery in the following statement by Lincoln, and it fits quite well:

"Slavery [Euthanasia/abortion ] is founded on the selfishness of man's nature--opposition to it on his love of justice. These principles are in eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely as slavery [euthanasia/abortion] extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow." (Abraham Lincoln)

If you want to continue down this road, the next stop in this slippery slope in active euthanasia, is lethal injection; as in the Netherlands, where they are giving lethal injections to retarded children...sometimes without even consulting the parent.

Please note that I did not use "theology" to argue my point.
