I stated that that was not the case--and that I was not basing my disagreement on some right-wing or collectivist philosophy. Care to _identify_ the strawman instead of just asserting that it exists? I mean--you are not contending thatthe Vreind decision is _not_ based on a wish to control the actions of homophobes, are you? I understood the decision as _exactly_ looking to control the actions of homophobes. Are you suggesting that the term *politically-correct* isn't used with any accuracy here? Prove it. Ron
