And euthanasia, pornography, prostitution, soft drugs use etc. etc..

Let's make people criminals for doing something that others don't want
and therefore want to forbid everyone else from doing.

I think you will find that these are illegal to some extent in most Western
countries outside of Holland. While I'm fully in favor of legalizing
"victimless" crimes (most of these are not really, but a different discussion),
these laws are pretty common in most Western countries.

BTW, pornography is pretty available thoughout most of the US. Despite the
rhetoric, there is little censorship, although restrictions on were it can be
shown are common. Political censorship in the US is rare. One can find just
about any opinion in the world published or broadcast somewhere in the US.

Not to mention the unequal rights for women as promoted by the religious
right: women belong at home, taking care of the children. Geez!

My wife belongs for one of those "evangelical religions". Yet many, if not most
of the women in her church work outside of the home, many with good careers.
While I'm in the camp that believes that mindless superstition and senseless
rituals are all that really distinguishes from the animals, I can find
no suppression of womens rights in the vast majority of Fundamentalist
churches,
excluding abortion.

Yeah, already there is not much left to protect the minority from the
tyranny of the majority, except a lot of money to afford expensive
lawyers who know how to talk a bent stick straight, let alone to protect
the maority from an extreme right wing minority who have the
government's ear. Democracy my ass.

"the right wing" is overblown. No matter how he is protrayed in the press, old
George is Middle of the Road. He is more conservative socially than Clinton,
but politically there isn't much difference. The only difference even foreign
policy wise is that Clinton was an Internationalist and George doesn't always
care if the European community cares about what he does.

Going to work now
