What is hypocrisy but a lie? How far down on the list of sins is lying. I know it is somewhere in the Top 10.

That's a load of bravo sierra. For two reasons:

1. Bill B. never said, "don't gamble". So the charge of hyprocrisy isn't even well laid here.

2. Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue. Turn that into a sin of it's own, and the result, since the 60's is for people to avoid the damning charge of "hypocrisy" by turning their vices into virtues.

I see the same screen names taking after Bill B: the WOD fundamentalists, for whom all is invested in the pursuit of making weed legal (I don't oppose that, just the fanatic zeal); and the Church Ladies.

Politics makes strange bedfellows indeed.
