Great start, Spartiakus.  That lets our readers
know right away you are an intellectual who backs 
up his words with substance.   8^)

Papa Jack responds:
Did you bother to read the article which started
this thread?  In case you missed it:

   On  November 28, 2003. the Washington Post included 
   an article by Alan Charles Raul titled: "Undermining 
   Society's Morals."  Go to:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A17611-2003Nov27.html

That's why I titled the subject line "Undermining 
Society's Morals."

Papa Jack replied:
That's not the issue.  The issue is which branch
of government is responsible under the Constitution
for enacting legislation which reflects the morals
of our society?  The author, Alan Charles Raul,
believes the courts are usurping the Constitutional
authority of the legislatures.  I agree.

Okay, now it's time for you to sputter, jump up 
and down, and call me "Disingenuous fuckwit" again.
