I agree with everything you just posted. I just don't yet believe that Putin's motivation is necessarily morality, as implied in your earlier post. I'm going to wait and see. Perhaps I'm equating morality with the Ten Commandments and not merely with common sense, as you have laid out, and with which I agree completely.

Meantime, here's something to love:

Thanks for your kind reply.

Nope, I did not imply anything about Putin. If you check the post (#55) again, it begins: "Putin is reflecting the values of the people." My meaning was that Putin was reflecting the opinion of the vast majority of Russians. Even Putin wants to be loved. I have no idea about Putin's personal feelings about sodomites, but it wouldn't surprise me if he is repulsed by them, just like most normal people.
