Thanks, Damien, for treating me with a dose of my own medicine. Especially in light of the news posted elsewhere here this morning that "the opposition" is becoming better and better organized, I think you've got a good point. There is a serious and significant "culture war" brewing and we're not doing ourselves any favors by emphasizing the more "outrageous" views of our ideas and values.
