The only problem is that the pro-life zealots will not embrace a religion that promotes free choice. My personal opinion is that if Bush-Cheney win in November this country and the rights of all, including the disabled, women, minorities, gays, and others will be set back 20 years. I shudder to think of the Supreme Court appointments they will make. If anyone has any political contacts now is the time to start beating down their doors. >> Greg, I have seen the term "pro-life zealots" used before and I wonder just what that conveys? Does it mean admiration for a group of people that believe that babies, both born and unborn, are a gift from God? Or does it mean the person using it is very intolerant of other view points? I would venture to guess that there is a group of people that look upon the term "pro-life zealots" as inflammatory and counter productive. I can still hear my dad telling me when IKE was elected that it was a good thing to change the party in power and he said the same things when JFK was elected. I don't believe there was any time when human right were set back 20 years when a new administration came into the Whitehouse. I think rights for all will go forward not back. Is this List going to become a political based forum or stay focused on a common threat Parkinson's Disease? Denny 58/52
