Kent - As always, a welcome to your intriguing and eye-opening replies.  And don't take offense to that, please.  I don't read your posts or replies for peer pleasure, although I will admit that I am guilty of finding myself laughing at some of the rantings.  That's my own fault; I'm human.

The abortion was NOT the issue that I had and I apologize for not making that any clearer in my previous reply, Kent.  What I had an 'issue' with (if that's how you wish to classify it).  My 'issue' was the wording of this:  "prescedence over other issues that have a much greater negative impact on all of our lives."  So my statement is although that most all of those issues and ideas may be true (I'm not disputing that either way - that's nt my point), they may NOT be important to a good deal of the American public (my words) that they have a "greater negative impact on all of our lives."  Take any of those issues and I stand by my statement, Kent.  As hard-to-believe and ignorant as that sounds, some of those issues MAY NOT have a greater negative impact on people than that of the abortion issue does.  And I only mention 'abortion' because of the correspondence that you and Kevin seem to be working back and forth.  To the lady in a situation dealing with the abortion issue, all of those other issues are irrelevant to her.  And to me, some of those issues will NOT have any greater negative impact on my life as perhaps other issues will.  In other words ---> what is, is.

Lastly, to break the ice, I am anxiously await your complete book on the DB Triage to come out for all of us to read.  Sounds like an interesting read.  Now back to music; I'm listening to 'Live In L.A.' by Trevor Rabin in thinking of your posts today.
