Lets not forget our history, and it was not that long ago. This ruling is about calling homosexuality immoral--period--which it is. Seems like Orwell wrote of controlling the language as a way of controlling the culture (FYI: Reston--read 1984). It takes a real twist in thinking to convence one's self that it is "natural"--whether a participant or supporter. It is what it is and what it always has been and always will be--a sin against God and nature. 2 Reply Rip Van Winkle, USA 10/9/06 re: Abraham Flexner quote The man who said this lived from 1866-1959. The word "extremists" had an entirely different context in those days...and not necessarily a scary one. In those days, and I was alive then, an extremist was a purist...one who made sure that what they did hung together consistently without contradictions... But, violent extremists came into play with the World Wars and others...so that now we know, that certain philosophies and outlooks, when purified, lead to violent extremism. Incidentially, Hitler was not a right wing extremist...his party was the National Socialist Party...so judge for yourself. History teachs alot when you can get a good version of it....or are willing to listen to those who have lived it and can see the repetitions. SaveOk2 Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
