Jack,

Did you read the bit when I said that I voted Conservative in the UK? I
even voted for Thatcher (well, just the once in '79 ... never again ;-)
That's not the point - it's the polluting of a group that is supposed to be
about science and faith with blatant political propaganda that I object to.
You seem to have missed the humour in my citation of Bob Dylan.

BTW, though my friend is a life-long Socialist, I certainly am not, but I
respect his opinions. I respect Republicans too, but not when they ram
their opinions down other people's throats and use the kind of insulting
language found in the Jim Robinson quote.
