What is this ridiculousness?  I've only missed a week or so of reading
this group, and now I come back to this?  Everyone (read *EVERYONE*)
is entitled to live their lives as they see fit and in the manner they
feel most comfortable with.  So [Some guy] is riding "the train of
values and tradition"--that's his choice!  Let him make it without
hounding him to death.  

And _name_calling_, Cheryl, isn't that a bit high-school?  
You sound like you are trying desperately to pull
someone else down to your level so you won't have to be done there by
yourself.  (Notice I said "sound like".  I don't now why you are
reduced to calling people childish names.)

And Mr. Gadfly, honestly.  Do you really believe that there is anyone
living in the world today who *can't* say "It seemed like a good idea at
the time" about some action they have taken.  Maybe you can say that
about your posting here.  However, I can imagine that most of your
life contains that line.  

In conclusion, let us try and act like rational adults instead of self
defensive children.  I have kids at home I can listen to.  I read the
news for adult interaction.  If this is what I get, I quit!
