want to hear about this from a "live-in-the-woods", sho'nuff , real-deal, redneck point of view??????????naaawwww,,,best not!!!!

Why sho'nough Lester, I'd sho'nough like to hear y'all's thoughts about this! Why wouldn't I?

And to answer your question about if I'm "taking sides" about this, well...the "side" I'm taking here is the "side" that says if you want the freedom to believe YOUR religious beliefs in this country, then just because they are in the majority that "maybe" they shouldn't have any more influence in the public domain and thus either become the "law of the land" or the generally accepted "norm" over those who base their beliefs are in the minority belief system, OR no belief system at all(as y'all could probably tell, THAT'S ME, and which I'm more and more PROUD of every friggin' day and every friggin' single time I read about people claiming that their belief system makes them "more righteous" than others, like I'm "a guessin'" these Muslim women think they think they are because they're soooooo "devout") and thus do not feel that they have to follow the law of the land!

And SOOOOOO....I say....I DON'T CARE IF YOUR BELIEFS TELL YOU THAT "DOGS ARE UNCLEAN", LADIES!!! HERE COMES ROVER!!! LIVE WITH IT!!!

And I'm ALSO saying....KEEP THY RELIGION TO THYSELF IN ALL ASPECTS REGARDING THE PUBLIC DOMAIN...AND THAT INCLUDES WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING ANY PROSPECTIVE LAWS WHOSE PRIMARY "RATIONALE" IS BASED ON SOME BELIEF SYSTEM!!!

Now, I hope that 'splains my position here y'all!!!

(hmmmmm...I wonder if I've just lost the Bible Belt's support here???)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
