Well, it's better to say something when the runaway train is just starting to inch backwards than when it is halfway down the hill and picking up speed.

Looking at Saudi Arabia and the Wahhabists or Ireland and the Catholic church, it seems important to me to draw a line here to prevent what happened there, the merging of religious doctrine and government policy.

I take the Constitution very seriously. There have been any number of stupid amendments proposed, but none endorsed the way this one is. So a little bit of alarm is justified. Do I really think that we are headed towards barbed wire and guard towers? Probably, as in %99.9, not. And if the polls drop any lower for the current adminstration and Congress, I will probably have to recalculate.

BTW, I do not believe that I suffer from a disturbed uterus.
