It is not really an assignment hoisted upon one -it is more a task volunteered for -a responsibility taken on.

I use such as this e.g. forcing myself to enage and focus upon and as such gain understanding and expertise to more effectively support or oppose political issues that I feel are of importance.

As a Catholic, the fact that I may faithfully believe or know what is and or should be so matters not politically -what matters politically is building consensus -winning people over. As such, one must engage -- and in engaging sharpen their skills... It does not matter how right one is if no one knows it...

And I thank you for all your hard work. I, for one, am not so much interested in the individual homosexual. I am concerned about the threat to our schools, churches, kids and culture. That is why I take notice of this issue.

The old movie "Omega Man" keeps coming to mind.
