    In response to your ojections to the Democratic platform:

    Of course, the repulican platform advocates a constitutional amendment
  denying the right to abortion under any circumstances, which is a slap in
  the face to even more people.  Also, I find that, of course, a majority
  of people feel that abortion is not good, but also feel that people
  shouldn't cram their views down other people's throats.  Therefore, choice
  is preferrable to abortion prohibition.  And, making people who can't afford
  pay is the same as forcing your views on them.

    I guess you would rather see children dead.


> equal rights for homosexuals.  This is just plain sick.

    What gives you the right to deny the rights of another human being?
  Just because you find homosexual people objectionable is no reason.  I
  happen to find born-again Christian views to be ojectionable, but I don't
  want to taake away the rights of the born agains.

    1. The Constitution is the governing document in America, and it
  plainly states that there is to be a seperation of church and state.
  That means there can be NO STATE RELIGION.

    2. Without fixing education FAAST, the US will become a third-raate
  country, with a citizenry unable to produce the advanced products
  necessary for aadvannced technology, and no scientists to reseaarch
  new areaas of knowledge.  In short, we may aas well go back to the
  stone aages.

   Another case of taking away the rights of those you disagree with.
  Need I state that Americaa iis (supposedly) a free country?

   II would like to remind you that art has NEVER been suupported bby the
  masses of people.  Without the support of governments and other powerful
  institutions, there would have been no Michaelangelo, no Bach, no Haydn,
  no Mozart, in faact, the aarts would have been unable to develop (the
  aartists would have staarved) and the world would e a much sadder
  place.
