Boy, this can be a tough crowd. I find it continually amazing how threatened people are about this subject. If EleqTrizi'T is that offended or insulted, find another thread and post away. It seems trendy to attack people from the secluded safety of a PC well out of range of return fire. My first impression was the same as yours when I finally had a real-world experience to speak from. I don't read your "traditionalist stupidity" comment as being thrown at those who disagree, it is simply a conclusion some of us have come to walking in our shoes down our pathway. I don't expect to see EleqTrizi'T anywhere close to the places my life has gone, but I don't hold that against the poster. Tolerance is something that is in short supply the world over. Believe me, after experiencing my limited contact with the Taliban, I have a much deeper understanding and respect for tolerant societies. Freedom, folks is not holding those you disagree with to the fire... or the hangman's noose.

For those who have fought for it freedom has a sweetness the protected will never know.
