I appears that one of the more popular activities among the Left and Those Who Don’t Consider Themselves Part of the Left but Certainly Aren’t on the Right is to bash President Bush. I’ll readily grant that he’s worthy of criticism on a number of issues. There is a difference, though, I think, between criticizing …
This morning, during the midst of jury duty discussion, I mentioned at work that I’d not have a problem with a law banning alcoholic drinks. Others in the conversation were a mix of Believers and non-Believers. After the converstaion ended (shortly after my mostly tongue-in-cheek comment), I was accused of legalism and “not doing the …
