Well, I guess that's true. But ilk always connotates thinking or being to me, and we certainly don't think the same. Actually, my wife told me a story this morning that reminds me of some of the people on this thread:

A spiritual man and his agnostic father were having one of their debates. The son had heard the story of Jonah in a sermon, and shared it with his father. The father said 'how could Jonah possibly live in the gastrointestinal system of a whale for a couple of days?'

The son replied 'I don't know, but when I get to Heaven I'll ask Jonah myself.'

The father then replied 'what if he's not there?'

'Then you can ask him' was the son's answer.

Well, that brings forth the burning question about this issue and FR.

ARe people of the same ilk allowed to have differences. Can they remain of the same ilk while agreeing on most things but not agreeing on other things. Even big things.

I submit our ilk is a big tent. And there are no evil people here, just people who see life or death issues differently.

But our ilk all seem to think an injustice is done here. A terrible cruelty. WE differ on who is to blame, what is to be done and whether this signals the end of our country. Some see this as a battle, others as a war, and some the apocalypse. Some see a terrible sad family drama, others a constitutional crises and others the battle of good and evil.
