Which by defining the whole by the faction and assigning greater value to the secular would lead to the same definition/redefinition of what is acceptably private. When it comes to freedom I don't think we should qualify our thoughts as the criteria for the value of our freedom. That is way too close to the Bush doctrine of, "You are free unless I think your thoughts and intentions are against me". I don't know... Something seems fishy about that fork in the road... rbw -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
