Nope, only that your refusal speaks to your

choice to remain ignorant.  You did once post something
to the effect "I guess you would have to check with
the wives."

Pkers have disagreed with you ad nauseum,

you post fantasies about what you *think*
they are doing, rather than what they *say*
and *do*.

You've posted no facts, only your guesses.

Separation of church and state appears nowhere in

the Constitution.  It first appeared in a letter from Thomas
Jefferson to a New England Episcopal bishop.  The Supreme
Court talks about the 'establishment' clause, not the 'separation'
clause.

I'm glad for that.  The pity is your outlook

is confrontational, rather than cooperative.

Hopefully, I won't ever be dishonest.

'This one' being the correction of men's sexistbehavior; a position on
which most feminists
and PK take a stand.  PK-through loving
correction, feminists, through fines and jail
terms.
