Well, thanks for posting this (I was thinking of doing so, but found via search that you had already). But I REALLY don't appreciate your addition of this subtitle. That is NOT what Pres. Hinckley said.

He said that there comes a time when good people have to employ force to combat and defeat evil, and that this is such a time. He essentially laid to waste all the ridiculous arguments of the so-called "Peace movement" (which should, if Truth In Advertisement laws applied, be called the "Anti-America-At-All-Costs" movement).

Pres. Hinckley said, in essence, "we are predominately a good and righteous people, and these whom we are fighting are evil and wicked. We are within our rights to combat evil now just as we were in 1941."

Aw, c'mon Illbay. I didn't mean Pres. Hinckley no harm. Everyone who has seen him on Larry King or elsewhere knows he is too polite and dignified to actually use the phrase "Whop Ass."

But the lay Mormons aren't. I've got friends in southen Utah (best damn deer hunting country in the U.S.A.) and their use of mild profanity is both proper and imaginative. One of them even told me about a former Mormon leader named Golden Kimball whose gospel pronouncements laced with mild profanity were... absolutely Golden.

I think your guys would run the good ol' boys from the south a close contest as the most manly men in America. You're at least their equal on shootin'. They'll certainly outdrink you. But I'll bet your guys hunting deer could outcuss them.
