Apples and oranges, Kooties. Xtian authorities have nothing to do with civil laws.

This bit: "TJ was a thoughtful and thorougly well versed man. For 1786." is just stupid beyond all reason... Again, I ask: are we not using guns in Iraq? Are the Iraqis not using guns on us? How is it that guns are irrelevant? And if they are not irrelevant then there goes your silly "For 1786" argument... -- Hop-Frog
