re: our embarrassing forbears, eg grandma.

Suppose some organization (like ADL or Weisenthal or Krauthammer) came along and asked you your views on race, to which you gave an honest and satisfying answer. Then they required an affadavit, a loyalty oath, a statement from you not merely disagreeing with grandma but denouncing her.

Would you sign?

I think not. And I'd have some choice words for the pugugly little creeps that dared demand such a thing. But Mel Gibson merely politely refused instead of punching any lights out--I have to hand it to his restraint.

Now you have some use some strangely familiar words.

Zechariah 8:16 These are the things that ye shall do;

Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor;

execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

v17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor;

and love no false oath:

for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD'"

Subject actually starts Zechariah 8:9........
