I agree totally except the suggestion we're on a slippery slope to mob rule.
The Christian Right is being taken to the woodshed as we speak. And it's about time.
This cannot be let go. There is a whole cottage industry built on life rights. Sensible resolution to this issue and reconciliation is not part of the agenda. There is money to be made. Churches to be spoken and witnessed to. Cities to have rallies in. Radio and television shows to be produced, sold and profited from. There are politicians to be bought and bent. There are concerned people to be agitated, riled up and demanding justice. There are staged arrests, symbolic cups of water anything to get face time, financial support and emotions boiling.
No there is too much at stake here. It can't be let go.
