Good. Write to your president. Better yet, scream at your legislators.
Your
president wouldn't understand anyway.

Why?

Because you want them to watch out for policies that stink of religious
fundamentalism. Why indeed.


Now you've come full-circle again. To what policies are you referring? Is
Bush
about to start lobbing nukes to bring about this 'rapture' you folks seem
so
enthralled with?

This is getting boring, so let's end it on a simple note.

You're right.

First of all,
pretend this happening on paper. Take a fat, black marker and eliminate all
occurrences of the word "nukes". I don't know where it came from, and you
are fixated on it.


The 'nukes' came from the supposed requirement for an ending of the world to
achieve the 'rapture'.

Next: "to what policies", you asked. From my point of view, ***ANY***
thoughts from American religious zealots regarding the Middle East should be
ignored completely by any president. Period. The region is too hot,
emotionally, for some people to view it with any kind of objectivity. Even
sane people have a hard time with it. The insane can only be worse.


I agree that extremists from either religious *or* secular zealots should not be
the basis for decisions. They cannot, and should not, be totally ignored.
Senator Byrd, on the other hand, *should* be totally ignored.

Have a great day!
