Your saying that we're"exactly the same" suggests to me that you have a visceral reaction for some personal reason, and have never thought it through.

It doesn't surprise me that you think mine is simply a personal reaction. As I hinted at in my earlier post, you're too wrapped up in the righteousness of your own religious beliefs to see the forest for the trees.

Actually, me and my types founded the nation in which you enjoy your freedom. (You'll love hearing that.) The entire premise for the framework of liberty is the fabric of Biblical morality. That's John Adams I'm channeling there.

You don't have to give me a history lesson, my friend. Note my tagline.

Tear at that framework, and you destroy at the foundation of that liberty, to mix metaphors.

Dobson stands for the framework, and he's done terrific work. Your part seems to be to offer obscenities and juvenile taunts.

You expect to be taken seriously when you suggest that the "framework" you hold so dear could be threatened by a cartoon character? Let's see: this Republic survived a revolution shortly followed by a foreign invasion; the secession of an entire region, followed by a civil war; involvement in not one, but two modern global wars; a horrific attack by Islamic fundamentalists . . . yet a cartoon threatens the very fabric of its existence?

I suggest you, Dobson, and all the flakes out there who feel threatened by SpongeBob Square Pants (a) gain a well-needed sense of perspective, and (b) get a frigging grip on yourselves before it's too late for you.

This deep lesson in moral philosophy from the man who said Dobson needs a blow-job?

Skip pebbles off the surface all you want. Maybe your readers, like you, don't understand multi-front propagandizing. Hollywood loves and depends on you for your shrugging off their efforts to capture and re-mold the values of the next generation. Sing it with them, if you like: commercials are worth spending hundreds of millions of dollars, because they affect people's thinking — but half-hour cartoons and two-hour movies are just shows!

Deep, yes. Just not deep thinking.
