		<description>Yo Doug:

You assume wrongly that I hate homosexuals -- I don&#039;t -- I feel
sorry for their situation.  If you want to demonstrate your
sexuality, the military is NOT the place to do it.  There&#039;s
much discipline needed to have a strong army, and I don&#039;t see
how letting two soldiers walk along, holding hands, and possibly
kissing in view of heterosexuals will make for a stronger
army.  Yes, eventually I as a Christian will feel like I&#039;m
part  of the minority.  If you&#039;ll examine our society, in
the USA and in many countries, Christianity is in the minority
already.  Atheism, paganism, and self-worship is growing
and &quot;true&quot; Christianity peaked a hundred years ago, if you
would read the history of the great preachers in the past
generations.  Much of today&#039;s Christianity is fluff and doesn&#039;t
carry much of a salvation message -- but that&#039;s to be
expected as the Holy Bible told us it would. If you don&#039;t
believe the Holy Bible for its spiritual wisdom, read it you&#039;ll
see the human depravity that&#039;s overtaking the world with its
wars, crime, pornography, greed and many more sinful behavior --
it tells the true picture of humanity without God.

But my salvation is that I know that in 20 years or so, I&#039;ll not
be in this world -- will be in a much better place -- heaven,
where there is no sadness, pain, evil -- just being with
the Creator of the universe, and I&#039;ll get answers to all my
detailed questions.

Sleep well.

		<description>Too bad that &quot;Hank&quot; won&#039;t ever be in an area where HE is the minority...  Perhaps if that happened, he would have a clue about what it feels like to be the minority.

I served 20 years in the military and believe the ONLY problem would be with the alleged &#039;christians&#039; who hate anyone that isn&#039;t just like themselves.  

It would be interesting to test poor Hank using the evaluative tools from the University of Georgia that suggested a STRONG link between homophobic hatred and denied sexual attraction.  

Yes, Hank...  perhaps your biggest fear is that others will realize you are just a big old nelly queen!</description>

		<description>BOGUS STATEMENT


75% of Americans want to allow gays in the military

A new survey by the Washington Post and ABC News has found that three-quarters of Americans think that openly gay, lesbian and bisexual people should be allowed to serve in the military

So the survey had 228,000,000 (75%) of Americans agree with
the above statement --- what a bunch of crapolla, as Archie would
say.

I question the survey&#039;s makeup, the way the question was 
asked, and don&#039;t trust the media to give an unbiased 
result.

Still think homosexuals in the military is more or a problem
than any good that comes from it.  I was in the military
and would have been grossed out if I saw two male soldiers
holding hands and kissing.</description>
