Your understanding of the issues is pretty shallow, and you know nothing of *all those* who oppose the decision. _I_ oppose the decision and I am not only bisexual, but the furthest damn thing from _any_ kind of collectivist/fascist you care to describe. It is not properly up to you (or any *majority*) to decide for others who will benefit from the fruits of their labours. People who own apartment buildings or who run businesses work _hard_ for what they have--and as much as I might disagree with choices they make in hiring or renting, it is _their_ property and I support their right to choose who will benefit. So it won't be me...so what? I do not need, nor do I want, the government to act as my *bully*, coercing people to act as though they believe what they do not. Quite frankly, I prefer an honest, out-front homophobe to people who claim such certainty about what people like me need to survive that they are willing to use the government to push people around. Laws based on the Vriend decision _are_ based _exactly_ on a desire of the *politically-correct* to control the actions of those with whom they disagree. Or, to make this personal--YOU seem _very_ content to control the actions of others. Ron
