I will never move on from the abortion issue until there is a tremendous change in opinion and the level of callousness.

    No, I did not say that of you -- nor imply it. You suggested you might like to take a leadership role now, since there were no competent hands at the helm. I was commenting that I would not want a leadership role -- at least as currently formulated -- because the current thrust and framework of things is off base. I do not think you part of the problem and do not reject your support for the GOP. If I caused you to believe that there was ANY personal aspersion attached to my comment, then I apologize for the lack of clarity in what I wrote. Any anger I feel is towards the poor performance of a political party that should have, collectively, known better.

    You and I are, most probably, fairly closely aligned in social viewpoints. You are, perhaps, a tad more ready to legislate same. That's about it.

    Okay, sorry I got the wrong idea.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
