Robinhood, I respect you, but I think you exaggerate my positions on these issues.

What I wrote about abortion was a call for some shred of "scripture" specifically forbidding it or defining the moment the soul enters the fetus. I also said the issue was created to turn the Religious Right into voting fodder. The response did not address my call and so did nothing to shed doubt on my second premise. No mention of Third Trimesters, about which I might have given some ground. Is this "championing" abortion?

I saw and responded to one post about homosexuality. Next day several posts appeared about homosexuality. A light bulb turned on.

I read alot of New Age stuff that smells like it's designed consciously or unconsciously to bolster irrational prejudices dating from childhood, or some exclusionary tribal belief. I would like to think my responses are motivated by a desire to challenge people to examine the underpinnings of their attitudes. I am not trying to convert anyone. It's against my religion.

Info re EgyptAir was posted here by Rayelan or one of her "sources", suggesting Israel brought it down for reasons of military security. I questioned your post because it conflicted with the earlier info, and because it largely toed the FBI line. My post included the sentence "I don't know." I don't.

Clearly, your SPOTLIGHT article exonerates Israel. I questioned it. My primary reason for "supporting" Israel is to thwart Plan A of the NWO, because Plan B (Dubya) buys us an extra year or two. I see no moral high ground in either the intifada or Israel's response to it. I DO see massive anti-Israel bias in the press, which I think is a Plan A tactic. If so, it will soon decrease.

I don't "always stand ready to criticize any view presented by Liberty Lobby." Most of the time I pay no attention to the source, which I guess disqualifies me from a CIA job (whew!).

"Getting off" the Forum with this might be a good idea. I just emailed Rayelan authorizing her to give you my email address. I admire your writing and your contributions, and would find you a stimulating correspondent!
