Bill....

"Power and tax revenue of the state to actively promote and subsidize it"

You are kidding, right? Perhaps you've missed the discussions on how
gay members of our society pay taxes too?

Then you say:

"I only absolutely draw the line at calling it "marriage." That word is
already taken and means something else."

And I say....in YOUR mind.....but not in the mind of many others.

Then you say:

"Appropriate some OTHER word (as was done
with "gay") or make up a new one. Stealing OUR word harms us."

Your word? And how would using this word in another way "harm"
you?...leave out the US part. What part of YOU does it hurt?

Whoops....then you say:

"We believe that abortion is MURDER."

Once again....you really need to leave out this "WE" stuff. Better
to use the words, "some of us". (Think filibuster when this topic comes up.)

Bill:

The United States is NOT a democracy; it is a representative REPUBLIC.

I guess we'll see after bubba W collects his "political capital"...

Thank God ;-) Ashcroft is leaving.
