Once again the so-called moral majority of Arkansas has shown its considerable ignorance on the issue. This should not startle us, as they have a history of opposing other rational and sane laws that would help alleviate the suffering of innocent human beings. In their fevered imaginations, they see in these laws the workings of their favorite imaginary imp, Satan. To them this is the height of moral wisdom. These reality-impaired individuals never question their shallow morals. They have a propensity for being able to detach their cramped morality from the reality of human suffering. So, here again we have witnessed religious dogma superseding moral reasoning and true compassion. Al Case Enola - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
