Ron Paul bump.
Gee, all this intrusive (Ow! Hey, that hurt!) stuff makes me (why should EYE be MADE to do it, anyway?) want to go to my window (if I had one) and shout:
I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT! DO IT TO JULIA!
If she consents, of course of course, I would add.
Yet who would listen?
WHAT A WORLD!!!
Thank God that FR keeps me coherent.

What happens when certain moral positions are ruled as evidence of mental illness? Perhaps religious fundamentalism might be seen as such (the justifications might point at Arabs shooting children, but the weight of the edict would come down on Christians and Orthodox Jews). Would children diagnosed with such maladies be taken from their parents and "cured" in government institutions?
Yeah, I'm cruising with tinfoil on, but still...
There were also a number of exaggerations in the article.....the survey is most interested in the people in your home - it does not quiz you on friends and relatives, unless they live with you.
I still think that it's overly obtrusive, and a disgusting abuse of power by the government. However, the way to combat issues like this are not with hyperbole and lies, but by presenting facts and convincing the populace that laws like this need to be changed. The value of all work that is done to repeal government intrusion is for naught if one lie can be pointed to. (see John Kerry, Dan Rather, et al)
And people still insist there's a difference between Bush and Kerry...
