Sorry, Tink, my question WAS clear to begin with and there was
nothing
you had to plow through. But it appears you either still don't get
it,
or you don't want to get it, or you're jerking me about, or you're
not
interested in pursuing the discussion. At this point, if we were in
court, you'd be designated a hostile witness.

Look: I'll try to be as simplistic about this as I can. Let's pretend
that you and I are going to write a book called "JC Goes To
Washington". It's about a young politician who runs as an independent
and gets elected to the House of Representatives. Now, Tink, here's
the
hook in our book: every chapter will be about a different public
policy
issue. Of course there'll be a whole interesting assortment of
characters -- trade unionists, industrialists, NRA lobbyists, a host
of
politicians button-holing our hero in the corridors of power etc. JC,
our hero will listen to all sides of the issues (remember, one issue
per chapter). Then, at the end of each chapter, he'll have to decide
which way to vote. Of course he'll vote based on HIS teachings (a
"higher law"). So, at the end of each chapter we'll know where JC
stands on these issues.

Is that so hard to magine Tink? Are you game?

Game on!

First though, I regret that I was not able to get back to you sooner,
but felt I should try to address some of the other pressing issues, and
hope they can work things out. In addition, my truck blew a steering
hydraulic line today as if our recent discussion about breaking down
brought a subject lesson to light. Luckily I was not going down the
highway at the time, and was able to find a nice sunny flat parking lot
to work under the van. Seems that the Lord had figured my daily
schedule different than I had. One of those surprises I mentioned
before.

As to your question being clear, it may have been to you, and I
suspected what you were wanting to get to. I did not mean to be
evasive, but I did desire for a clear statement so that there would be
no future misunderstanding. I did not mean to jerk you around, or
indicate that I am not interested or willing to delve into these
issues, as difficult and sensitive as they may be. So I apologize for
any misunderstanding now and in the future if I take a step in my logic
that is not clear. Feel free to stop me if I am not clear, and
sometimes simple is good.

JC goes to Washington, and I am His news media spokesman. You ask me
what He is up to, and I with my inside info try to keep you informed.
Does this work for you?

If so, Why don't you start the first chapter. TnT
