But really, how much different is that than people suggesting that those of us with a different version of propriety are not getting enough?

Let's try to be real here: I'm sure somebody said that to somebody, probably me; but try to realize that remarks like that were made until AFTER reams of posts were made disparaging Laura Bush by the prudes among us.

It's a chicken-egg thing, but in this case, the remarks about "not getting any" didn't come out of nowhere. They were in response to the trashing of a good woman by some uptight people who read more into an innocuous remark than was there.

I didn't see that on this thread. And there it is again. Name calling. Someone is a prude because you disagree with their idea of what is right and wrong? What do you hope to gain by labeling them prudes?
For the record, I think Mrs. Bush (who I have met and who I admire greatly) made a mistake with some of what she said. I wish she hadn't done it, but I don't think it will cause her much harm (and I doubt she cares much). On the other hand, it is right and good that we discuss this kind of thing. But we don't have to call names to do so. How about we at least try to understand where those we disagree with on a particular issue are coming from. Of course, that doesn't get nearly the laughs! :)
