LOL. Literally. As it turned out, Doug, I've already answered your question above, and posted it, even before I read this post. I could feel that this was the direction your rants were taking you in this morning, and so I replied to an earlier, lesser rant with the sort of explanations you're asking for above. :-) It's isnt' "spineless" to allow someone the freedom of their beliefs. It's a matter of respect. What, to me, indicates a *lack* of respect is going out of your way to convince that someone that their beliefs are "wrong" and that your beliefs are "right." I don't care WHO is doing it -- TM supporter or TM critic -- it's the same phenomenon. In my opinion morality IS relative, and trying to convince someone that your beliefs are "better" than theirs IS immaturity. Your mileage may vary. And that's Ok. Believe what you want to believe.
